At Rome in the cemetery of Callistus on the Appian Way, the commemoration of Saint Tarcisius, martyr, who, while defending the most sacred Eucharist of Christ that a frenzied mob of pagans was attempting to profane, chose to be stoned to death rather than to surrender the sacred mysteries to dogs.
August 15th
Saint Tarcisius
