ON THE HOLY MARTYRS SPOLICOSTUS, PALLADA, AND CANDIDA

Commentary

Spolicostus, Martyr in Greece (St.) Candida, Martyr in Greece (St.) Palladas, Martyr in Greece (St.)

These are celebrated in the very ancient MS. Martyrology of St. Jerome in these words: "And in Greece, of Spolicostus, Pallada, Candida." Several Candidas are found, but none joined with these companions.

Support the Translation

The Acta Sanctorum has never been available in English. This site is translating all of it: January through July are done, August is underway, and the calendar runs to November 10, where the Bollandists stopped in 1940. The scholarship pipeline is built; what remains is a compute bill. Contributions go directly to translating more of the calendar.

The Acta was a funded enterprise for three centuries; the translation runs the same way. Everything here is free and stays free whether you give or not. Wroot Press is a small independent press — an imprint of Wroot Labs LLC, not a charity. Contributions aren't tax-deductible; they buy compute.
