Saint Mamas

Saint Mamas, also known as Mammas, Mamans, Mamante, Mamede, Mamés, Mammes, Mammesius, and Mammet, was born in a prison where his parents, Saint Theodotus and Saint Rufina, were held prior to their martyrdom. Raised by Saint Ammi, he grew to become a shepherd who was known for preaching to the animals in the fields. Legend has it that the animals would gather around Saint Mamas to hear the good news of the Gospel....
