He lived in the second half of the 3rd century in the Italian peninsula. He was religious and good, that little news we have received so far. But he lives in the time of the persecutions of Diocletian, and it is easy to discover Gregory in the banned Christian devotion. Made prisoner, is accused of not wanting to sacrifice to the gods and say that God alone deserves worship. Dies a martyr in the year 303.
Celebrate today: Gregorio, Gregory.
