ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH
Saints celebrated on the 4th of March
SAINT HONORATUS, MARTYR
Saint Honoratus was a martyr of whom nothing else is known for certain but but his name. An arm of a martyr called Saint Honoratus is kept at Saint Catherine's Monastery in Turin. The Bollandists* state (Mart. I. 358) that, on his feast day, a special office is prayed for him there. They reckon the saint of the name venerated in Turin to be our Saint Honoratus. (I.310)
