The Holy Martyr Victor of Milan, also Victor the Moor and Victor Maurus (†303) was a Christian soldier in the Roman army who was tortured and beheaded in the early fourth century after his destruction of altars to Roman pagan gods revealed his Christian faith. Dragged to the Hippodrome of the Circus in the presence of Maximian Herculean, he refused to betray his beliefs despite the torments to which he was subjected. Whipped and imprisoned, after an almost miraculous escape, he was again captured. He was dragged into a nearby elm wood and decapitated around the year 303. Numerous churches have been dedicated to him in the city itself and throughout the Diocese of Milan. His memorial day is May 8 in the Roman Catholic Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Victor is the patron saint of prisoners and exiles.
