30th June - The Martyrs of Rome - Independent Catholic News

30th June - The Martyrs of Rome - Independent Catholic News: This day commemorates all those who died in the persecutions of Nero in the late first century and always falls after the feast of St Peter and St Paul. Little is known about many of these early Christians. Because of the lack of information, after 1969, several individual names were left out of the list of saints. Remembering them as a group in this way makes up for those whose histories have been lost.
