(GERVASIUS et PROTASIUS), two saints always named together in the Roman martyrology. Ambrose gives an account of them, and calls them the "first martyrs of Milan." They appear to have suffered martyrdom in the time of Dioclesian. Many stories are told of the miracles wrought by their "relics." Their commemoration day is June 19. See Butler, Lives of the Saints, June 19.
