Tarsicius (3rd century A.D.) was an acolyte at Rome. He was carrying the Eucharist to bring it to some Christians in prison, when he was accosted by a mob and beaten to death. This story is included in the novel "Fabiola", and Pope Damasus wrote a poem about it. St. Tarcisius is the patron of first communicants.
