  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN JULY Saints celebrated on the 12th of July WELCOME! SAINTS NABOR AND FELIX, MARTYRS They suffered martyrdom at Milan under Maximian Herculeus about the year 304.  WONDERFUL DEVOTION Their bodies were first interred without the walls of the city, but afterwards brought into it, and deposited in a place where a church was built over their tomb, to which great multitudes of people resorted with wonderful devotion, as Paulinus testifies in his life of St Ambrose.  THE RELICS ARE STILL HONOURED IN THE SAME CHURCH In the same church St Ambrose discovered the relics of SS. Gervasius and Protasius, as himself relates in his letter to his sister Marcellina. The people continued to venerate the relics of SS. Nabor and  Felix with the same ardour of devotion, as that holy doctor assures us. They are still honoured in the same church, which at present bears the name of St Francis.  (From Fr Butler's Lives of the Saints)
