Few other facts are known about them.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that while they were in prison, each had a vision regarding his martyrdom. They drew courage from these apparitions and were able to courageously face death. They were joined in their deaths by other Christians.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Reflection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The old saying that the more things change the more they stay the same may apply to today\u2019s celebration. Two faithful people facing the hardships of life during persecution in the third century may have a lot in common with those facing persecution for their faith today.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-d1a85b3f-7908-4b7d-878c-58bf732496f0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/465210\/d1a85b3f-7908-4b7d-878c-58bf732496f0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/465210\/d1a85b3f-7908-4b7d-878c-58bf732496f0.png\" alt=\"Franciscan School of Theology\" \/><\/a><\/span> hbspt.cta.load(465210, &#8216;d1a85b3f-7908-4b7d-878c-58bf732496f0&#8217;, {&#8220;useNewLoader&#8221;:&#8221;true&#8221;,&#8221;region&#8221;:&#8221;na1&#8243;}); <\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image:\u00a0\u201cThe Christian Martyrs\u2019 Last Prayer\u201d | Jean-L\u00e9on G\u00e9r\u00f4me Saints of the Day for May 6 (d.
