He is venerated as a martyr and he is remembered in Rome by the church of San Clemente, which may have been built on the site of his home. (In the East: Jan 4, Apr 22, Sept 10 and Nov 25).[5]
  3. "At Caesarea, in Cappadocia, St. Mercury, soldier, who vanquished the barbarians and triumphed over the cruelty of Decius through the protection of his guardian angel. Finally, having acquired great glory from his sufferings, he was crowned with martyrdom and went to reign forever in heaven."[7] Name days celebrated today include:
    • Merkourios / Mercury (Μερκούριος).
  4. "THE birthday of St. Catharine, virgin and martyr, under the emperor Maximinus. For the confession of the Christian faith, she was cast into prison at Alexandria, and afterwards endured a long scourging with whips garnished with metal, and finally ended her martyrdom by decapitation. Her body was miraculously conveyed by angels to Mount Sinai, where pious veneration is paid to it by a great concourse of Christians."[7] Name days celebrated today include:
    • Catherine (Κατερίνα).
  5. "At Rome, St. Moses, priest and martyr, who, with others detained in prison, was often consoled by the letters of St. Cyprian. After he had withstood with unbending courage not only the Gentiles, but also the Novatian schismatics and heretics, he was finally, in the persecution of Decius, crowned with a martyrdom which fills the mind with admiration, according to the words of pope St. Cornelius."[7]
