Saint Luxurius or Luxorius († 304)(Italian - Lussorio; Pisan dialect - Rossore) was a Roman official in Sardinia venerated as a martyr saint by the Roman Catholic Church. Apparitor to Delphius, the praeses or governor of the island, he was converted to Christianity by reading the Psalms. He was beheaded during the fourth of Diocletian's persecutions for refusing to sacrifice to idols in the city of Forum Traiani. He is the patron saint of several Italian cities, the largest of which is Pisa (where he is honored under the name of "Rossore". In Borore, a small town in central Sardinia, San Lussorio Martire is the patron saint. The saint is celebrated twice a year: in April, with an almost exclusively religious ceremony, and in August, with important religious celebrations that last three days (20-21-22), followed by novenas in the rural sanctuary dedicated to the saint.
