'''Saints Marcellinus and Peter''' (died 304 AD) were early Christian [[martyrs]] executed in [[Rome]] during the Diocletian persecution. Marcellinus, a [[priest]], and Peter, an [[exorcist]], were imprisoned for their faith and beheaded after refusing to renounce Christianity. Their martyrdom, recorded in early Christian accounts and affirmed by the discovery of their tombs in the Catacombs of Marcellinus and Peter, inspired devotion. Canonized pre-Congregation, they are venerated for their courage and fidelity.<ref name="catholicsaints">{{cite web |title=Saints Marcellinus and Peter |url=https://catholicsaints.info/saints-marcellinus-and-peter/ |publisher=CatholicSaints.Info |accessdate=18 May 2025}}</ref> | |||
As patrons of imprisoned Christians, their [[feast day]] is celebrated on 2 June in the [[Latin Rite]]. Honored in Catholic and [[Orthodox Christianity]], their relics, housed in the Basilica of Saints Marcellinus and Peter and elsewhere, draw pilgrims. Their steadfastness, alongside other Roman martyrs, strengthens the Church’s legacy of perseverance.<ref name="catholicorg">{{cite web |title=Sts.
