St. Victor of Marseilles was a Christian soldier serving in the Roman imperial army in Marseilles, France. Christianity was thriving there, until Emperor Maximian arrived with the intention of putting the Christians to death. This caused the Christians to fear, and St. Victor would go from house to house under the cover of night to encourage them to stand strong in their faith. This behavior drew attention of the Roman prefects who tried to dissuade him from following a "dead man" (Jesus), but St. Victor testified boldly for the truth of the Christian faith. Saint Victor did not deny Christ and was tortured for his faith and finally put to death by being crushed by a grindstone. Many miracles have been attributed to those who have visited his tomb.
