Saint Marcellinus and Saint Peter

<p>Marcellinus and Peter lived in Rome during the time of the Emperor Diocletian. Little is known about them. Peter is said to have been an exorcist who ministered under Marcellinus, a well-known priest. Legend has it that, while in prison, they converted their jailer and his family. They were put to death for their faith about the year 304 and are commemorated in the canon of the Mass. There are accounts of miracles which resulted when their remains were moved to a monastery in Germany in 827.©2011 <em>Living with Christ, </em>Novalis - Bayard Press Canada Inc., <strong>http://www.livingwithchrist.ca/</strong&gt;.
