VINCENT, Orontius and Victor, Saints, Martyrs. - The Roman Martyrology commemorates them on 22 January, as victims of the persecution of Diocletian at Embrun in France; other sources assign them to Gerona, in Spain.

It has been thought possible to reconcile the discrepancy by making them martyrs of Gerona, while their relics would then have been transferred to Embrun. Their Acts are "apocryphal and fabulous"; and perhaps Vincenzo is to be identified with the well-known deacon of Saragossa, martyred in 304. Oronzo, bishop, martyr and patron of Lecce, would be distinct from the one commemorated in this group of martyrs.
