Saints celebrated on the 10th of May
SAINTS GORDIAN AND EPIMACHUS, MARTYRS
Today, we also commemorate Saints Gordian and Epimachus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Rome, on the Latin road, the birthday of the holy martyrs Gordian and Epimachus. In the time of Julian the Apostate, the former was a long time scourged and finally decapitated for confessing the name of Christ. He was buried at night by the Christians, in a crypt to which, shortly before, the remains of the blessed martyr Epimachus had been translated from Alexandria, where he had been martyred for the faith of Christ."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Gordian and Epimachus may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
