Church of SS. Cosmas and Damian St. Fabian Pope and, Martyr
|
| History: Saint Fabian was elected
bishop of the Church of Rome in 236. In 250, at the beginning of the
persecution of Decius, he won the crown of martyrdom, as Cyprian bears
witness. He was buried in the cemetery of Saint Callixtus. His feast is celebrated on
January 20th. Prayer: God our Father, glory of your priests, may the prayers of your martyr Fabian help us to share his faith and offer you loving service. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. The Liturgy of the Hours According to the Roman Rite, Catholic Book Publishing Co., New York, (C) 1975, Volume III, pp. 1306, 1308. |
