May 3: SS Alexander, Eventius And Theodolus, memorial
Alexander, Eventius, and Theodolus were martyrs in Rome under Trajan, being burned and beheaded c.113 on the Via Nomentana in Rome, Italy. They were arrested by the tribune Quirinus, who, with his daughter, they converted to Christianity by performing miracles. Their relics are interred in the Dominican church of Santa Sabina, Rome (pictured above).
