Primus and Felician

Primus and Felician were two 3rd-century brothers who became saints. Their feast day is June 9, just a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know about Primus and Felician a couple of weeks ago, so I didn't celebrate.

Primus and Felician were martyrs. They were beheaded in Nomentum near Rome in the year 297 A.D. Since 1969, due to "limited worldwide interest in them," it's up to indivdual dioceses to decide if they want to celebrate Primus and Felician's feast day. If I were Primus or Felician, I'd be pissed.


Last year the Saints finished a disappointing 8-8.
