St. Justus of Trieste
Justus of Trieste is venerated as an early Christian martyr and as patron of the city and diocese. The received account places his death during the persecution under Diocletian and describes execution by drowning. These details belong to the traditional martyr narrative, while the continuing diocesan veneration is directly documented by the Church of Trieste.
Nominis records his November 2 commemoration. The Diocese of Trieste celebrates its patron's solemnity on November 3, a distinction that matters because November 2 is All Souls' Day in the Roman calendar. This entry preserves both dates in their proper contexts and does not turn the devotional account into a fully documented contemporary legal history.
November 2 is Justus of Trieste’s commemoration in the Martyrology. Trieste celebrates its patron on November 3; this reading does not replace All Souls.
