Not much is known about Saint Expeditus (Expedite). We do know he's listed as one of the 6 Roman soldiers of Armenian heritage, martyred during the Diocletian persecution. Expeditus is the Latin word for light infantry soldiers known for their quick responses. He holds a palm branch to represent his martyrdom and a cross with the Latin word "hodie" (today) for his expeditious conversion. Devotion to him spread throughout Europe and Latin America.
