St. Ansanus (285 - 304) was a patron of Siena, Italy and he was called "the Baptizer." Ansanus became a Christian at the age of twelve and was denounced by his own father. Ansanus was able to elude the Roman authorities and began a missionary apostolate in Siena and in Bagnorea, Italy. When the persecution initiated by Emperor Diocletian began rounding up Christians, Ansanus was arrested. He was eventually beheaded.
St. Ansanus please pray for family unity when people convert to Christianity.
Patron of: Siena, Italy.
