Baring-Gould’s sources: Ado on Nov. 9 and Sept 28. Usuardus on Oct 13, so also the Modem Roman Martyrology. Maurolycus, Greven, Molanus, and others on Sept. 28. The Spanish Martyrologies on Oct 13. Authority: — The Acts which are trustworthy.] Faustus, Januarius, and Martial, three Christians of Cordova, were brought before the governor Eulogius, and when they refused to sacrifice were slung on the “ little horse,” but without the pain shaking their confidence and faith. Eulogius then ordered the ears and noses of Faustus and Januarius to be cut off, and as they remained steadfast, the three martyrs were consumed by fire. The “invention” of their relics took place in the year 1575. The church of S. Peter in Cordova was being repaired, when a stone sarcophagus was dug up containing bones and skulls of eighteen bodies. Popular opinion at once concluded that these were the bodies of the three martyrs, with some extra sufferers. This pious conjecture was affirmed to be true by a papal bull of Gregory XIII.
