Justus and Pastor (Latin: Iustus et Pastor; died c. 304), venerated as Christian martyrs, were two schoolboy brothers (Justus was 13 years old, Pastor less than 9) who were killed for their faith during the Diocletian persecutions. The boys are today considered the patron saints of Alcalá.[1] They are mentioned by Prudentius.
