Saints celebrated on the 3rd of February
SAINTS LUCIAN, EUPHRAXIUS, AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS
Saints Lucian and Euphraxius, martyrs in Africa, are commemorated on February 3. One of the ancient martyrologies adds Saints Felix and Felicitas as their Companions in suffering; however, we are not quite sure about this addition. (I. 317).
