Armogastus, St

Armogastus, St.

suffered martyrdom in Africa about A.D. 458, under Genseric, king of the Vandals. He was first tied with cords, which, says the legend, snapped like spider's webs at the prayer of the saint, who was then condemned to the mines. He is commemorated March 29. See Landon, Eccles. Diet. s.v.
