Saints Gordianus and Epimachus were Roman Martyrs, who are Commemorated on 10 May.

Gordianus was a Roman Judge, who converted to Christianity. He was tortured and finally beheaded. His body was laid in a Crypt on the Via Latina, Rome, beside the body of Saint Epimachus, and the two Saints gave their name to the Cemetery of Gordianus and Epimachus. They are jointly Venerated by The Catholic Church with a Feast Day of 10 May in The Tridentine Calendar.

At the age of sixteen, Saint Antoninus entered The Order of Saint Dominic. Having become Archbishop of Florence (Communion), he excelled in his Pastoral Office by the austerity of his life, his Charity, and his Sacerdotal zeal (Introit, Epistle, Alleluia).

His prudence earned for him the Title of "Antoninus of Counsel". He died, rich in merits, in 1459.

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia.

Saint Antoninus of Florence, O.P. (1389 - 1459), was an Italian Dominican Friar, who ruled as an Archbishop of Florence. He is Venerated as a Saint by The Catholic Church.

He was born Antonio Pierozzi (also called de Forciglioni) on 1 March 1389 in the City of Florence, then Capital of an independent Republic, to Niccolò and Tomasina Pierozzi, prominent citizens of the City, Niccolò being a Notary.

The young Anthony was received into The Dominican Order in 1405, at the age of sixteen, at the new Priory of The Order in Fiesole, Florence, and given the Religious Habit by the Blessed John Dominici, Founder of the Community, becoming its first candidate. Soon, in spite of his youth, he was tasked with the administration of various Houses of his Order at Cortona, Naples, as well as Florence, which he laboured zealously to reform. These Communities had become part of a new Dominican Congregation of Tuscany, established by John Dominici in order to promote a stricter form of life within The Order, which had been devastated through its division in the Western Schism of the preceding Century.

From 1433-1446, Antoninus served as Vicar of The Congregation. In this Office, he was involved in the establishment of the Priory of St Mark, in Florence. The Priory's Cells, including one for Cosimo de' Medici, were painted in frescos by Fra Angelico and his assistants.

Antoninus was Consecrated Archbishop of Florence on 13 March 1446, at the Dominican Priory in Fiesole, on the initiative of Pope Eugene IV, who had come to admire him through his participation in the major Church Councils of the period. He came to win the esteem and love of his people, especially by his energy and resource in combating the effects of the plague and earthquake in 1448 and 1453. It was they who began the use of the diminutive form of his name which has come to prevail. Antoninus lived a life of austerity as Archbishop, continuing to follow The Dominican Rule. His relations with the Medici regime were close, but not always harmonious, with his serving several times as an Ambassador for The Republic to The Holy See during the 1450s.

Antoninus died on 2 May 1459, and Pope Pius II conducted his funeral. The Pope happened to be on his way to The Council of Mantua when he heard of the Archbishop's death. The Archbishop's wish was that he be buried at the Priory which he had Founded in the City.

Saint Gregory was born at Nazianzus in Cappadocia (Editor: Modern-day Turkey). He was educated at Athens in all the sciences, at the same time as Saint Basil the Great, with whom he was always united in the bonds of a holy friendship. Brothers in their studies, they remained brothers in their Monastic life and in the Episcopate.

Having become Bishop of Nazianzus, and, later, Patriarch of Constantinople (Communion), he was "the light which, raised on the candlestick, sheds its rays on all those who dwell in the house" (Gospel).

Filled with "the spirit of Wisdom and Intelligence" (Introit, Epistle), his profound knowledge of The Scriptures earned for him the Title of Doctor and Theologian, which The Church has confirmed. Saint Gregory Nazianzen died in 389 A.D.
