“The birth in Heaven,”, says The Roman Martyrology, “of Saint Chrysogonus, Martyr, who, after having been long in chains, and in prison for The Faith of Christ, having endured these torments with the greatest fortitude, was taken to Aquileia, Italy, by Order of Emperor Diocletian, and there beheaded and thrown into the sea. Such was his glorious Martyrdom.”

Saint Chrysogonus is mentioned in The Canon of The Mass, and, in his Church at Rome, is held The Station on Monday in Passion Week.

Mass: In virtúte.
