ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 18th of August SAINTS FLORUS AND LAURUS, MARTYRS Today, we also commemorate Saints Florus and Laurus. The Roman Martyrology states: "In Dalmatia, the holy martyrs Florus and Laurus, stonecutters, who, after the martyrdom of Proculus and Maximus, their employers, were subjected to many torments under the governor Licion, and plunged into a deep well." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saints Florus and Laurus may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
