Memorial of Saints Marcellinus and Peter | June 2
At every Mass where the First Eucharistic Prayer is proclaimed, two names are spoken aloud: Marcellinus. Peter.
A priest and an exorcist, martyred in Rome under Diocletian around 304 AD. Led to their ex*****on by a man who would later convert and carry their story to Pope Damasus himself.
Constantine built a basilica over their tomb and placed his mother's burial there... and the Church has never stopped saying their names.
