About Saint Evilasius
Saint Evilasius was an executioner.
Martyr Evilasius (died 311) was a pagan priest who tortured a 13-year-old girl who later became Saint Fausta. Realizing her courage, he himself converted to Christianity, an act punishable by death since the people of Cyzicus did not want even a single person in their community to convert to any other religion.
