SAINT OF THE DAY APRIL 05 ST. IRENE, VIRGIN AND MARTYR Peace, charity and purity: these were the baptismal names assumed by the three martyr sisters in Thessaloniki in 304 under the governor Dulcitius, during Diocletian's persecutions. Irene was the youngest; she was guilty of hiding the Holy Scripture and refusing to eat food offered to the gods. ST. VINCENT FERRER, DOMINICAN
