Male catholic saints pictures and biography

Regis University Santos Collection
Source: Second century (legendary)
Feast day: June 22
Patronage: The penitential Brothers took an interest in this patron of those who experience crucifixion; Acacio is also a military protector against any intruders (see Brown, Hispano Folklife of New Mexico, p. 216).
In German understanding of him, San Acacio was the leader of about ten thousand Roman soldiers who were converted to Christianity in Armenia and crucified; he was unheard of before the late fourteenth century. See José E. Espinosa, Saints in the Valleys, (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1967), pp. 92-93; Yvonne Lange, "In Search of "San Acacio," El Palacio94 # 1 (Summer-Fall 1988), 18-24, notes that Acacio was never much venerated in Spain or the southern portion of New Spain but only in New Mexico and what is now northern Mexico and that the crown of thorns rather than the traveler's or vaquero's hat was the headgear of the original iconography.
