Protus and Januarius

The Holy Martyrs Protus and Januarius worked in Sardinia, Protus as a priest and Januarius as a deacon. They were beheaded at Porto Torres, not far from Sassari, in the persecution of Diocletian, around 303. They are saints of the undivided Church, known from the Western calendars. The sources consulted say no more of their lives.

They are commemorated on 25 October, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
