Life
Victor was a Roman by birth and a soldier by profession. He was tortured for Christ in the time of Emperor Antoninus. During his torture a certain young woman, Stephanida, declared that she too was a Christian. Victor was beheaded, and Stephanida was torn apart, being bound with one leg to the top of one palm tree and with the other to the top of another palm tree.
