Saint Marinus was the founder of one of the world's oldest surviving republics, San Marino, in 301. Tradition holds that he was a stonemason by trade who came from the island of Rab on the other side of the Adriatic Sea (modern Croatia), fleeing persecution for his Christian beliefs from the Roman Emperor Diocletian. His memorial day is September 3, commerating the day of the year when he founded San Marino, which is also San Marino's national holiday.es:Marino el constructor hr:Sveti Marin id:Santo Marinus it:San Marino (santo) hu:Szent Marinus nl:Marinus van Rimini
