5 November, The Roman Martyrology

Nonis Novémbris Luna tricésima Anno Dómini 2021

November 5th 2021, the 30th day of the Moon, are commemorated the holy Zacharias, Priest and Prophet, father of the blessed Baptist John, and holy Elizabeth, mother of the same most holy Forerunner.
Upon the same day, were born into the better life:

At Terracina, in Campania, the holy martyrs Felix, a Priest, and Eusebius, a Monk. This Eusebius buried the holy martyrs Julian and Caesarius, and turned many to believe in Christ who were baptized by the holy Priest Felix. He and Felix were therefore tried together and both led before the seat of the judge, where neither was overcome, but were committed to prison together, and the same night, since they refused to sacrifice, they were beheaded.
At Emesa, in Phoenicia, the holy martyrs Galation, and Epistemis, his wife. In the persecution under Decius they were heavily flogged, and their hands, feet, and tongues mutilated, whereafter they were beheaded, and so finished their testimony.
Also under the Emperor Maximin, the holy martyrs Domninus, Theotimus, Philotheus, Silvanus, and their Companions.
At Milan, the holy Confessor Magnus, Bishop (of that see, in the year 529.)
At Brescia, holy Dominator, Bishop (of that see.)
At Trier, (about the year 500,) holy Fibitius, who from being Abbot was made Bishop of that city.
At Orleans, in Gaul, the holy Confessor Laetus, a Priest, (in the year 534.)
V. And elsewhere many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
