“His persecutor exhausted on him [Editor: Saint Vitalis] every kind of torment, and not a part of his body was left free of wounds. He suffered these tortures with fortitude and he died Praying.
“Saint Agricola was Crucified. The Translation of the Relics of both Saints took place in the presence of Saint Ambrose, who says that he collected the nails, his glorious blood, and the Cross on which Saint Agricola was nailed, and placed them under The High Altar.”
