Saint Ekspedite

Saw this statue of St. Ekspedite (St. Ekspeditus) in Saint Stanislaus Kostka's church, near Plac Wilsona in Warsaw:

The name St. Ekspedite rang a bell but I couldn't recall anything about him, but judging from the statue here, I could see that he was an old Roman saint. Have just read that he was a Roman centurion in Armenia who became a Christian and was beheaded for this during the Diocletian Persecution in 303.
