St Fabian, Pope and Martyr Life History
St Fabian was a citizen and Burgess of Rome, and it happened when the pope died, the people assembled to choose another pope.
St Fabian came to the election to know who should be elected but turned out to be the chosen one.
Anon, a white dove descended from heaven and rested upon his head, and when the people saw that they marvelled much, and all they by common accord chose him to be pope.
This holy man Fabian ordained throughout all the countries, seven deacons, and to them seven sub-deacons, to write the lives of martyrs.
There was a sinful emperor in his time named Philip. He came to the vigil of Easter in the church. During holy communion, the pope drove him away and denied to him the Holy Communion, until he confessed his sins.
Today’s Catholic Quote:
After 14 years of Papacy, Decius the emperor commanded that the Pope be beheaded. He was crowned with the crown of martyrdom in the year of our Lord 250 AD.
