  2. "IN Africa, the holy martyrs Victorian, proconsul of Carthage, and two brothers, of Aquaregia. Also two merchants, named Frementius, who, bishop Victor Africanus tells us, were subjected to most atrocious torments for their courageous confession of the Catholic faith, and gloriously crowned under the Arian king Hunneric, during the persecution of the Vandals."[7]
  3. "In Campania, St. Benedict, a monk, who was shut up by the Goths in a burning furnace, but was the next day found uninjured."[7]
  4. On account of the many miracles at his tomb the Bishop of Chieti enshrined his relics for veneration.
  5. St Elena was a friend of the great Ukrainian St Tikhon of Zadonsk. When the latter insisted on being buried in a humble wooden coffin, the monks found they could not fit his body into it with all his Episcopal robes, and so they buried him in another, larger coffin. St Helen asked for and received St Tikhon’s first coffin in which she herself was buried.[19]
