A:

According to legend, which has no apparent historical value, Vitus was the young, Christian son of a senator of Lucania. He resisted his father's attempts, with various forms of torture, to make him turn away from his faith, then fled with his tutors to Lucania. From there he went to Rome to drive out a demon which had taken possession of a son of the Emperor Diocletian. This he did, but because he remained steadfast in the Christian faith, he was tortured together with his tutors. By a miracle an angel brought back the three to Lucania, where they died from the tortures they had endured. Another legend says that he was thrown in a cauldron of boiling tar and lead, but escaped unscathed.
