On this day according to the ROMAN MARTYROLOGY:
In Sicily, in the reign of Diocletian, the birthday of seventy-nine holy martyrs who deserved by various torments to receive an immortal crown for the confession of their faith.
At Adrumetum in Africa, during the persecution of the Vandals, the holy martyrs Verulus, Secundinus, Syricius, Felix, Servulus, Saturninus, Fortunatus and sixteen others who were crowned with martyrdom for the confession of the Catholic faith.
At Scythopolis in Palestine, St. Severian, bishop and martyr.
At Damascus, St. Peter Mavimenus, who was killed by some Arabs who visited him in his sickness because he said to them, “Whoever does not embrace the Christian and Catholic faith is lost, like your false prophet Muhammed.”
At Ravenna, St. Maximian, bishop and confessor.
At Metz, St. Felix, bishop.
At Brescia, St. Paterius, bishop.
And in other places, many other holy martyrs, confessors and virgins.
Thanks be to God.
