Saints NEMESE, diacre, et LUCILLE, sa fille, martyrs à Rome sous Valérien (256).

Santa Lucilla di Roma Vergine e martire  ai tempi della persecuzione di Valeriano nel 257 il tribuno Nemesio abbia chiesto e ottenuto dal Pontefice il battesimo per sé e per la figlia Lucilla. Questa, cieca dalla nascita, avrebbe poco dopo la cerimonia recuperato immediatamente la vista.
La nuova fede e il miracolo ottenuto dalla figlia rese il tribuno romano sordo alle esortazioni dell'imperatore che esigeva il suo ritorno sollecito alla vecchia religione. Per il reiterato rifiuto, padre e figlia furono condannati a morte e martirizzati l'uno tra la via Appia e la via Latina e l'altra sulla via Appia nei pressi del tempio di Marte.
I loro corpi furono sotterrati ed esumati diverse volte e, secondo alcune interpretazioni, le ripetute traslazioni avrebbero avuto e manterrebbero il significato simbolico di scintilla luminosa e santa che segna nel mondo l'itinerario tironfale del Cristianesimo

Saints SPIRIDON et NICODEME de la Laure des Grottes de Kiev (XIIème siècle). 

The Monks Spiridon and Nikodim, Prosphora-Makers of Pechersk (XII), for 30 years fulfilled their obedience -- they baked prophora. The Monk Spiridon came to the monastery during the time of the hegumen Pimen (1132-1141), already no longer young a man. The ascetic combined his work with unceasing prayer and the singing of psalms. Even during his life the Monk Spiridon was glorified by miracles. An instance is known, when he extinguished his mantle which had caught fire from the oven -- the fire was put out, but the mantle remained whole. Saint Nikodim toiled together with the Monk Spiridon and led a very strict life. Their relics are located in the Antoniev Cave. The fingers of the right hand of the Monk Spiridon are positioned together three-fingered. Their memory is also 28 September and the 2nd Sunday of Great Lent.)
