Life

Virginius was, according to tradition, a Roman soldier and martyr who suffered together with Euphlamia. Their names are absent from the Roman Martyrology and some doubt their existence. Their relics, from the catacomb of Priscilla, were given in 1623 by Pope Gregory XV to the parish of Cerasco. He is commemorated on 22 April. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
