Saints celebrated on the 1st of June
The Bollandists* list Saints Juventius, Cyriacus, Exuperantius and Heraclia as martyrs at Rome; but it is uncertain when and in what manner these saints suffered martyrdom. Saint Juventius, whom the sources variously call Viventius, Joventius, Juvencus, was first buried in Rome. From there, a substantial part of his relics was later translated to the Jesuit Church in Naples, where they are kept in a chapel at the foot of a gilded bust of this saint. (I. 43).
