  8. Also in Rome, the burial of Saint Paschal I, pope, who, in the desire to have the holy martyrs venerated, raised many of their bodies from the catacombs and placed them with honor in various churches of the City. († 824)

  10. In Chihuahua (Mexico), Saint Pedro Maldonado Lucero, diocesan priest and martyr, who, during the fury of the persecution, venerating the Eucharist to the very end, was shot in the head and achieved the triumph of martyrdom. († 1927)

  11. * In Vinaroz (Spain), Blessed Tobías (Francisco) Borrás Romeu, professed religious of the Order of the Hospitallers of Saint John of God and martyr, who consummated his martyrdom during the persecution against the faith during the Spanish Civil War. († 1937)
