Saints celebrated on the 1st of May
SAINTS APOLLONIUS AND EUPHEMIUS, MARTYRS
Saints Apollonius and Euphemius were two martyrs put to death for the Christian faith, although it may be possible that Saint Euphemius is the same person as either Saint Cuphebius or Euphebus [Ephebus]. Those two saints are venerated on February 15, together with Saint Proculus.
