Life

The Holy Martyrs Cyriacus and Apollinaris suffered in North Africa in the time of the undivided Church. The Roman Martyrology mentions them briefly: "In Africa, the holy martyrs Cyriacus and Apollinaris." The sources give neither the year, the exact place nor the circumstances of their martyrdom.

They are commemorated on 21 June among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (saints of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
