Martyrological notice
mHE vigil of All Saints.— At Rome, the birthday • of blessed Nemesius, deacon, and his daughter, the virgin Lucilla. As they could not be prevailed upon to abandon the faith of Christ, they were be- headed on the 25th of August by order of the em- peror Valerian. Their bodies were buried by the blessed pope Stephen, and afterwards more decently entombed on this day, on the Appian road, by blessed Xystus. Gregory V. translated them into the sacristy of Santa Maria Nova, together with the Saints Symphronius, Olympius, tribune, Exuperia, his wife, and Theodulus, his son, who, being all con- verted by the exertions of Symphronius, and bap- tized by the same St. Stephen, had been crowned with martyrdom. These holy bodies were found there during the Pontificate of Gregory XIII., and placed more honorably beneath the altar of the same church, on the 8th of December. — The same day, the Saints Ampliatus, Urbanus and Narcissus, who are mentioned by St. Paul in his epistle to the Romans. They were put to death by the Jews and Gentiles for the Gospel of Christ. — At Saint-Quentin, in France, St. Quinctinus, Roman citizen and senator, who en- dured martyrdom under the emperor Maximian. By the revelation of an angel, his body was found incor- rupt after the lapse of fifty-five years. — At Constanti- nople, St. Stachis, bishop, who was consecrated first
