Life

Holy Hieromartyrs Agapius and Secundinus were born in Spain and were bishops or priests. Exiled to Cirta in Numidia, North Africa, in the persecution of Valerian, they received martyrdom there around 259, together with two virgins, Tertulla and Antonia, and a woman with her twin children. They are saints of the undivided Church, remembered on 29 April in the Western calendar (new style).
