Holy Martyrs
Two Martyrs of Valeria
Two martyrs of Valeria, remembered together in Western calendars; few details survive.
Life
Two Martyrs of Valeria are two monks of the province of Valeria in Italy, killed by the Lombards by being hanged on a tree. The source places them in the fifth century, but the Lombards entered Italy only in 568, so the date remains uncertain. Though dead, they were heard singing psalms, even by their enemies.
They are remembered on 14 March in the Western calendar (new style). They are honoured as saints of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
Commemorated the same day March 14
