On this day according to the ROMAN MARTYROLOGY:
At Rome, on the Via Labicana, St. Castulus,
martyr, chamberlain in the palace of the emperor. For harbouring
Christians he was three times suspended by the hands, three times
cited before the tribunals, and as he persevered in the confession of
the Lord, he was thrown into a pit, overwhelmed with a mass of sand,
and thus obtained the crown of martyrdom.
In the same city, the crowning of the holy martyrs
Peter, Marcian, Jovinus, Thecla, Cassian and others.
At Pentapolis in Lybia, the birthday of the holy
martyrs Theodore, bishop, Irenaeus, deacon, Serapion and Ammonius,
lectors.
At Sirmium, the holy martyrs Montanus, priest, and
Maxima, who were cast into a river for the faith of Christ.
Also the holy martyrs Quadratus, Theodosius,
Emmanuel and forty others.
At Alexandria, the holy martyrs Eutychius and
others, who died by the sword for the Catholic faith in the time of
Constantine under the Arian bishop George.
The same day, St. Ludger, bishop of Munster, who
preached the Gospel to the Saxons.
At Saragossa in Spain, St. Braulio, bishop and
confessor.
At Treves, St. Felix, bishop.
And in other places, many other holy martyrs,
