Life
Januarius, Maxima and Macaria of Africa were three martyrs of North Africa, remembered together on 3 April.
The Roman Martyrology says only that in Africa there were the holy martyrs Januarius, Maxima and Macaria. We have no data on the time or circumstances of their martyrdom.
They are saints of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.
