- Martyrs Terence, Africanus, Maximus, Pompeius and 36 with them, beheaded at Carthage (250)
- These African Christians suffered during the persecution of the
Church by the emperor Decius, during which a great many Christians
denied the faith rather than suffer.
These faithful few boldly upheld the Faith and, after many torments,
were condemned to death
by beheading. The went to their execution singing psalms and hymns of
thanksgiving, and
received the crown of martyrdom in 250.
-
In the early centuries of the Church, North Africa, especially the
region of Carthage, was one of the centers of the Christian Faith,
comparable to Asia Minor.
