Saint Pancras was a Roman citizen who converted to Christianity, and was beheaded for his faith at the age of just 14 around the year 304. His name is Greek and literally means "the one that holds everything". From 1595 (25 years after Pope Pius V promulgated the Tridentine Missal) until 1969, Saint Pancras was venerated together with Saints Nereus and Achilleus and Saint Domitilla in a shared feastday and Mass formula on 12 May. Saint Pancras is now venerated separately, still on 12 May. He is, traditionally, the second of the Ice Saints.
