Holy Martyrs
Seven Martyrs of Carthage
Seven martyrs who suffered for Christ at Carthage.
Life
The Seven Martyrs of Carthage were put to death by the sword. It is not known for certain who they were or when they lived; some sources say they were from Carthage, others from Chaldia. It may be a group of seven Christians tortured and killed in the persecution of the Arian Vandal king Huneric, whose names would be Boniface, Liberatus, Maximus, Rogatus, Rusticus, Septimus and Servus. But it could also refer to the Scillitan Martyrs, executed in the year 180, whose acts, preserved as a court record, are the earliest Christian text in Latin.
They are commemorated on 23 July.
