Life

Holy Martyr Maurus of Salona is counted among the companions of Saint Venantius, bishop of Salona in Dalmatia, who were put to death for the faith. His relics, together with those of Venantius and of two other Dalmatian saints, were brought to Rome by Pope John IV in 640 and placed in the chapel of Saint Venantius beside the Lateran baptistery. The Roman Martyrology commemorates him on 1 April (new style). The sources say nothing else about his life, and the year of the martyrdom is not known.
