According to tradition, Saint Pancras, to whom this Floisdorf church is dedicated, was publicly executed for his Christian faith at the end of the 3rd/beginning of the 4th century under Emperor Diocletian. The martyr's body was buried on the Roman Via Aurelia – in the catacombs later named after him – beneath the present-day church of "San Pancrazio."
Saint Pancras' feast day is May 12th; in popular piety, he is one of the three so-called "Ice Saints," along with Saints Servatius and Boniface (in some regions, this is supplemented by "Cold Sophia" one day later).
