Saints / Saints A - Z / Gordianus and Epimachus / Lives / Martyrdom of Gordianus alone (beheaded)

Further details

Whilst the rubric speaks of SS Gordianus and Epimachus, the text only speaks of St Gordianus - apparently, the only thing known about St Epimachus is that he was a martyr and that Gordianus was buried next to him.
