On this day according to the ROMAN MARTYROLOGY:
At Rome, the holy martyrs Sulpicius and Servilian
who were converted to the faith of Christ by the discourses and the
miracles of the holy virgin Domitilla. Having refused to sacrifice to
the idols, they were beheaded by Anian, prefect of the city, in the
persecution of Trajan.
The same day, the holy martyrs Victor, Zoticus,
Zeno, Acindinus, Caesareus, Severian, Chrysophorus, Theonas and
Antoninus who suffered martyrdom after undergoing various trials.
At Tomis in Scythia, St. Theotimus, bishop, whose
great sanctity and miracles procured him the veneration of
unbelieving barbarians.
At Embrun in France, St. Marcellin, first bishop
of that city, who by divine inspiration came from Africa with his
holy companions Vincent and Domninus and converted to the faith of
Christ the greatest portion of the inhabitants of the maritime Alps,
by his preaching and the wonderful prodigies, which he still
continues to work.
At Auxerre, St. Marcian, a priest.
The same day, St. Theodore, confessor, surnamed
Trichinas, from the rough hair garment which he wore. He was renowned
for many miracles, but especially for his power over demons. From his
body issues a liquid which imparts health to the sick.
At Monte-Pulciano, St. Agnes, a virgin, of the
Order of St. Dominic, celebrated for miracles.
And in other places, many other holy martyrs,
confessors and virgins.
Thanks be to God.
