The Martyrs Slain by the Lombards were 440 Italian Christians killed in the year 579 by the Lombards, a Germanic tribe, because they would not worship idols. Of them only the names of the priest Sanctulus and the hermit Hospitius are known. The Church of Georgia commemorates them on 2 March (old style; 15 March new style).
