June 2, is the feast day of Sts. Marcellinus and Peter, martyrs


St. Marcellinus, a priest, and St. Peter, an exorcist, were decapitated in the forest during the persecutions under Diocletian. They were martyred around 304 and 305. The family of Constantine built a large basilica in their honor, where his mother St. Helen was buried.
