ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN DECEMBER
Saints celebrated on the 1st of December
SAINT OLYMPIAS, MARTYR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Olympias. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Amelia, in Umbria, Saint Olympias, ex-consul, who was converted to the faith by blessed Firmina, and being tortured on the rack, consummated his martyrdom under Diocletian."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Olympias 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.
