Castulus, or Kastl in Bavarian, lived in Rome in the 3rd century. According to legend, he was a chamberlain of the Roman Emperor Diocletian (* between 236 and 245; † around 312) and, because of his Christian faith, was buried alive in the catacombs named after him on the Via Labicana in Rome. St. Castulus' feast day is March 26. He has been venerated as the patron saint of farmers and shepherds since late antiquity. He is invoked for protection against lightning, water shortages, animal diseases, and horse thieves. In addition to the martyr's palm, his attribute is the spade, as he was buried alive. (Wikipedia)
