Saint Lorgius ((Italian) and (Spanish) San Lorgio) is venerated as a martyr. He was martyred at Caesarea Mazaca Cappadocia. Due to a confusion in names Lorgius is sometimes identified with the saint named Gordius a Roman centurion who disrupted a chariot race held in honor of Mars by coming down into the arena. For this action he was condemned to death.[1] His feast day falls on March 2.
