Cyprian was a Barrister at Carthage, when he was converted to Christianity. A short time afterwards, he was Ordained a Priest and became Bishop of Carthage. "It would be superfluous," says Saint Jerome, "to speak of his genius, since his works are more brilliant than the Sun."
This illustrious Father of The Latin Church lived in one of the most troublous periods for The Church in Africa. He was Martyred five years after Saint Cornelius on the day when this Holy Pope’s remains were Translated to Rome. That explains why their names are united by The Liturgy of The Canon of The Mass (First List).
Mass: Intret. Of Several Martyrs.
Commemoration of The Holy Martyrs: Saint Euphemia; Saint Lucy; Saint Geminianus.
