Expeditus
According to legend was a Roman commander in Armenia who became a Christian and was beheaded because of it by emperor Diocletian in 303 A.D. Some church authorities question however whether or not he actually existed saying that he may have been inadvertently invented by a group of nuns in Paris that received a shipment of relics labeled for "expedited" delivery. Nevertheless, Saint Expeditus was called upon by believers to settle overly long legal cases. His acta have not been reviewed and demoted by the Roman Catholic Church, but his feast is not widely celebrated.
His feast day in the Roman Catholic calendar is April 19.
