SERGIUS, ST

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 667 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SERGIUS, ST , generally associated with St Bacchus, one of the most celebrated martyrs of Christian antiquity. His festival is on the 7th of October, and the centre of his cult was Resafa, or Rosafa, in Syria, in the province of Augusta Euphratesia. This town, which since the middle of the 6th
century
  was also called Sergiopolis, acquired importance as a place of
pilgrimage
 , and became a
bishop
 's see (Le Quien, Oriens Christ. ii. 951). The cult of the saint spread rapidly. In 353 we find a
church
  of St Sergius at Eitha, in Batanaea (Waddington,
Inscriptions
  de Syrie, n. 2124)the most ancient example of a dedication of this
kind
 . In the 6th
century
  St Sergius was honoured in the West (Gregory of Tours, De gloria martyrum, 96). According to their Ada (which, however, have little authority), SS. Sergius and Bacchus were soldiers. In art they are most generally represented in military costume.
See Ada sanctorum (October), iii. 833-883; Analecta Bollandiana, xiv. 373-395 (H. DE.) SERGIUS, the name of four popes.
