 St Vitus, Modestus and Crescentia - Independent Catholic News: Martyrs. The cult of these fourth century saints is very ancient, but few facts are known about their lives. Historians think it is probable that Modesta and Crescentia lived in Sicily, while St Vitus came from Lucania. According to tradition, St Vitus became Christian as a child, during the reign of the Emperor Diocletian. Modesta and Crescentia were his tutor and nurse. He soon gained a reputation for holiness and the power to work miracles.
