Sabbas the Goth, a
martyr in the area of modern Romania. He was a Goth converted to
Christianity in his youth and became a
lector in Targoviste, Romania, to a
priest named Sansala. He survived several persecutions of the local Church under the
pagan Goths, but finally was seized with Sansala by a group of Gothic soldiers and ordered to eat meat which had been sacrificed to idols. Brutally tortured with several other Christians, Sabas was finally drowned in the Mussovo River, near Targoviste. About fifty others were put to death with him
