Although he had filled high stations in the army under Constantine the Great, Julian the Apostate, whom he had reprehended for his cruelty towards Christians, ordered him to be beaten with rods, subjected to other torments, and finally beheaded." He is the Patron saint of police officers.
  4. He is absent in the Synaxaria. However he is a local Saint of Trabzon. He lived during the reign of Byzantine Emperors Leo VI the Wise (886-912) and Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (913-959).
  5. "At Abia, near Aquila, in Abruzzo, the birthday of blessed Maximus, deacon and martyr, who, through the desire of suffering, presented himself to the persecutors that sought him. After answering with great constancy, he was racked and tortured, then beaten with rods, and finally he died by being precipitated from an elevated place."

  8. Born in Agen in the south of France, he hid during the persecution of Diocletian, but hearing of the courage of St. Faith, confessed his faith openly and was at once beheaded.
  9. "At Agen, in France, St. Caprasius, martyr. As he was hiding himself in a cavern to avoid the violence of the persecution, the report of the blessed virgin Faith's courage in suffering for Christ animated him to endure torments, and he prayed to God that, if he were deemed worthy of the glory of martyrdom, clear water might flow from the rock of his cavern. God having granted his prayer, he went with confidence to the scene of combat, and after a valiant struggle, merited the palm of martyrdom under Maximian."
  10. "In Portugal, St. Irene, virgin and martyr."
    • "The Isle of Man was occupied by the Scots, and S. Germain (July 3) was the first bishop of that island. Two other bishops, Coninder and Romail, are named in the same century, the fifth, as exercising their functions in Man. Then came S.
