Istrian saints and the blessed:

  • St. Jerome - Eusebius Hieronymus Sophronius (b. Stridone, circa 347-420)
  • Blessed Julian of Cesarello (b. Valle, c. 1300 - 1349)
  • Beato Elio (Italiano)
  • San Mauro
  • San Nazario (Italiano)
  • San Niceforo (Italiano)
  • St. Gaudentius - Gaudentius Auxerensis (b. Tržić, near Osor, Lošinj)
  • St. Sergius (Sergio) and St. Servul (Servolo)

    St. Servul from Socerb / San Servolo was a genuine Istrian saint from the 3rd century who died a martyr's death. A number of more or less apocryphal saints are also known in Istra, particularly Saint Sergej (Sergius) from Črni Kal. The veneration of these two saints spread widely in surrounding areas as well, the former being much venerated in the Veneto, whilst even today Trieste bears as its city crest the halberd of St Sergius.
