St. Dionysius of Augsburg
Feast day: February 26
Death: 303
First bishop of Augsburg, Germany.
Saint Dionysius is said to have been converted to Christ, baptized, and later consecrated bishop by Saint Narcissus. He was martyred under Diocletian. The story, however, is from the acta of Saint Afra, which date only from the 8th century
