Saint Bessus, sometimes Besse, (Italian: San Besso) is venerated as a member of the legendary Theban Legion, whose members were led by Saint Maurice and were martyred for their Christian faith in the 3rd century. Except for St. Maurice's cult, veneration for Bessus enjoyed a wider popularity than those associated with other saints of the Theban Legion and remains popular today. According to tradition, Constantius survived the decimation of his legion and fled to valleys of Aosta and Cogne. He then dedicated himself to converting the people in this area to Christianity.

  • Sint-Bessus, ook Bessus, (Italiaans:San Besso) wordt vereerd als een lid van de legendarische Thebaanse Legioen, waarvan de leden, geleid door Mauritius, in de 3e eeuw vanwege hun christelijke geloof weigerden de beelden van de Romeinse keizers te aanbidden. Vanwege deze weigering werden zij gemarteld en gedood. Behalve voor de cultus van Sint-Mauritius, genoot de verering voor Bessus een grotere populariteit dan de verering van zijn collegaheiligen uit het Thebaanse Legioen. De verering van Sint-Bessus is ook heden ten dage nog populair. Volgens de traditie, overleefde Bessus de decimatie van zijn legioen door het Romeinse leger. Hij vluchtte naar de valleien van de Aosta en de Cogne. Na deze vlucht nam hij de taak op zich de mensen in deze valleien tot het christendom te bekeren. (nl)

  • Бесс — святой мученик, воин Фивейского легиона. Дни памяти — 10 августа, 1 декабря. Святой Бесс (итал. San Besso) почитается как один из воинов легендарного Фивейского Легиона, замученных за свою христианскую веру в III веке. Считается, что за исключением почитания святого Маврикия, командира легиона, почитание святого Бесса пользовалось более широкой популярностью, чем почитание иных святых, имена которых связаны с Фивейским Легионом. Святой Бесс почитаем по наши дни. Согласно преданию, пережив децимацию легиона, святой Бесс бежал в долины Аоста и Конь. Там он посвятил себя обращению местных жителей в христианство. (ru)
