St. Varus
Died: 307
I was a Christian solider from Kemet, who during persecutions visited other jailed Christians. I helped some monks, seeing the death of one in the prison dungeon.
I requested to take his place. I was arrested. The torturers hung me on a tree. I was finally disemboweled. With me, six Monk martyrs, Cleopatra and her, son, John in 307 A.D.
Authorities beheaded the Monk martyrs the following day. 19 Oct. (Probably the same person Varus, Roman soldier martyred in Upper Kemet (Apori, Ori), under Maximian. I was from Setnuf, Kemet 19 Oct.)
Ancient African (Catholic) Church’s thousands of early *Black Saints.* From all Mystical Body of Christ’s branches--Latin, Coptic, & Orthodox Sts. Amoun, Augustine to Zeno. Perfect /Nativity/, Black Catholic/History month gift. CLICK HERE!

St. Varus is a great saint to pray to, he never failed me. I thought that he was brilliant for doing favors, when you prayed to him. He's not that obscure - you can get icons of him on different sites, and there are prayers to him as well.
Prayer:
Grant, we beseech thee, almighty God: that we who venerate St. Varus, thy martyr, may through his intercession be strengthened in the love of thy name. Through our Lord. Amen
