Life

Januarius, Marinus, Nabor and Felix of Africa were four martyrs remembered together on 10 July.

The Roman Martyrology says only that in Africa there were the holy martyrs Januarius, Marinus, Nabor and Felix, who were beheaded. We have no data on the time or circumstances of their martyrdom. The same text mentions elsewhere that Nabor and Felix have a tomb at Milan; that is another group of martyrs with the same names.

They are saints of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is vague.

Commemorated the same day July 10
