Saints celebrated on the 28th of February
SAINT EULALIA, MARTYR OF ROME
Saint Eulalia was a martyr of Rome. Her relics, along with those of other saints, were transferred from the cemetery areas of Saint Callistus and Saint Lucina to Antwerp. This event took place in A.D. 1639 under Pope Urban VIII, which also involved them being solemnly exposed for public veneration. (III. 725.)
