Saint Faustinus and Saint Jovita, both born at Brescia, Italy, were brothers and of noble origin. During "The Persecution", "they stood the assault of sufferings, disgrace, and tribulations" (Epistle) in several Towns in Italy.

"They were tortured to death" (Gospel) at Brescia, Italy, at the beginning of Emperor Hadrian's reign in 117 A.D.

"Following the example of The Holy Martyrs Faustinus and Jovita, let us apply ourselves with ardour to Penance, so that we may enjoy the fruits of the redemption."
