Feast day: June 15
St. Vitus
A boy of Sicily martyred with his tutor and nurse in the last great persecution, who became one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers and one of the most invoked saints of medieval Europe.
The nervous disorder 'St. Vitus' Dance' is named for him, after the dancing done at his shrines on his feast in hope of good health.
