Saints of African birth have been canonized for centuries and nearly two millenia. One of the doctors of the Church, St. Augustine of Hippo, was born in what is today Algeria. He lived from 354-430 and is a noted and influential theologian and philosopher. A deacon named Caesarius of Africa was martyred in the 1st century. Numerous others have been canonized. Three popes were of North African birth - Victor I (189-199), Militiades (310-314), and Gelasius I (492-496), the first two are saints.
