Saint Tarsicius (255)

He was a noble young Christian killed while carrying the Blessed Sacrament to be given to Christians in Roman prisons. He died rather than let the Blessed Eucharist be violated by the crowd which attacked him. The angels protected Our Lord in the Eucharist from these heathens after his death.
