Santos Protomga martir of the Romano Church

The Feast of the Protomartyrs of the Roman Church, celebrated on Hunyo 30th, honors the unang Kristiyano martyrs executed in Rome sa ilalim ng the pag-uusig of the Emperor Nero in the year 64 AD. These early disciples of Christ ay put to kamatayan dahil sa kanilang pananampalataya, becoming the unang to give kanilang lives for the Kristiyano Church. Though kanilang individual names ay hindi recorded, sila ay sinasamba as a group for kanilang unwavering witness at tapang in the face of pag-uusig. Sila ay considered mga patron ng all Kristiyano martyrs at ay invoked by mga mananampalataya for strength at perseverance in times of trial.
