Saints Marcellinus and Peter

Saints Marcellinus and Peter

Ss Marcellinus and Peter were martyred in Rome during the Diocletian Persecution. It is recorded that they were beheaded, demonstrative of their Roman citizenship. A basilica was built over their place of burial. Our knowledge of them comes from Pope St Damasus I. The Roman Catholic Church celebrates them in an optional memorial on 2 June.
