On this day according to the ROMAN MARTYROLOGY:
In Africa, the holy martyrs Victorian, pro-consul of Carthage, and two brothers, of Aquaregia. Also two merchants, named Frementius, who, bishop Victor Africanus tells us, were subjected to most atrocious torments for their courageous confession of the Catholic faith, and gloriously crowned under the Arian king Hunneric, during the persecution of the Vandals.
Also in Africa, St. Fidelis, martyr.
In the same country, St. Felix, and twenty others.
At Caesarea in Palestine, the holy martyrs Nicon, and twenty-nine others.
Also the crowning of the holy martyrs Domitius, Pelagia, Aquila, Eparchius and Theodosia.
At Lima in Peru, the archbishop St. Turibius, through whose labours faith and ecclesiastical discipline were diffused through America.
At Antioch, St. Theodulus, priest.
At Caesarea, St. Julian, confessor.
In Campania, St. Benedict, a monk, who was shut up by the Goths in a burning furnace, but was the next day found uninjured.
At Barcelona, in Spain, St. Joseph Oriol, priest and beneficiary of the church of St. Mary of the Kings. He was remarkable for his love of poverty and his charity towards the needy and the infirm. Distinguished both in life and after death by the working of miracles, he was placed in the Martyrology by Pope St. Pius X.
And in other places, many other holy martyrs, confessors and virgins.
Thanks be to God.
