ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN FEBRUARY
Saints celebrated on the 11th of February
The place of suffering and the time of death of the holy martyrs Zoticus, Cyriacus, Occominius and Peleonicus are unknown; but they probably suffered in Africa, since the ancient Martyrology of Saint Jerome* lists them among the African martyrs. (II. 510)
