ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN APRIL
Saints celebrated on the 3rd of April
SAINT EUTICIA, MARTYR
Some of the martyrologies list Saint Euticia as a martyr during the reign of Licinius, but this saint is otherwise not known and cannot be placed. The Bollandists* suggests that perhaps there is a confusion with Saint Eutychius, who was one of the forty martyrs of Sebaste. (III. 721)
