14 August
THE vigil of the Assumption of the blessed Virgin Mary.—At Rome, the birthday of the blessed priest Eusebius, who for the defense of the Catholic faith was shut up in a room of his own house by the Arian emperor Constantius, where constantly persevering in prayer for seven months, he rested in peace. His body was removed by the priests Gregory and Orosius, and buried in the cemetery of Callistus, on the Appian road.—In Dalmatia, St. Ursicius, a martyr, who was beheaded for Christ, after suffering various torments, under the emperor Maximian, and the governor Aristides.—In Africa, St. Demetrius, martyr.—At Apamea, in Syria, St. Marcellus, bishop and martyr, who was killed by the exasperated Gentiles, for having pulled down a temple of Jupiter.—At Todi, St. Callistus, bishop and martyr.—In the island of Ægina, St. Athanasia, widow, celebrated for monastical observance, and the gift of miracles.
And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors and holy virgins.
Thanks be to God.
