Saint Roch (Rocco) († 1327) was a Catholic saint, a confessor specially invoked against the plague. He is a patron saint of dogs and falsely accused people, among other things. His popularity, originally in central and northern Italy and at Montpellier, spread through Spain, France, Lebanon, the Low Countries, Brazil, and Germany, where he was often interpolated into the roster of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, whose veneration spread in the wake of the Black Death. The 16th-century Scuola Grande di San Rocco and the adjacent church of San Rocco were dedicated to him by a confraternity at Venice, where his body was said to have been surreptitiously translated and was triumphantly inaugurated in 1485. Numerous brotherhoods have been instituted in his honor. The Third Order of Saint Francis, by tradition, claims him as a member and includes his feast on its own calendar of saints, observing it on August 17.

Blessed Jacobus de Voragine (Jacopo da Varazze; c. 1230–1298) was an Italian Dominican friar, preacher, and Archbishop of Genoa. Born in Varazze near Genoa, he entered the Order of Preachers in 1244 and later served as prior and provincial of Lombardy. Appointed Archbishop of Genoa in 1292, he worked as a peacemaker between Guelphs and Ghibellines and promoted Christian life among the people. He is best known as the compiler of the Golden Legend (Legenda Aurea), a highly influential collection of saints’ lives that shaped medieval devotion and art. He died in Genoa on or about July 13, 1298. Pope Pius VII confirmed his cultus and beatified him in 1816. His feast day is July 13.

Saint Sebastian († c. 288) was an early Christian saint and martyr. According to Christian belief, he was killed during the Roman emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians. He was initially tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows, though this did not kill him. He was rescued and healed by Irene of Rome, but shortly after his recovery, he went to Diocletian to warn him about his sins, and as a result he was clubbed to death. He is venerated in the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church as the patron saint of athletics, archery, and plagues. His Feast Day is commemorated on 20 January (Roman Catholic), and (Oriental Orthodox) and 18 December (Eastern Orthodox).
