Martyr Concordius of Spoleto
The Holy Martyr Concordius, son of the presbyter Gordian, was raised in piety and faith in Christ, and therefore Bishop Pius of Rome made him a subdeacon. Together with his father, St Concordius fasted and prayed, and he generously distributed alms to the needy. With the permission of his father he settled not far from Rome with his kinsman Eutychius, spending his days in prayer and good deeds.

Allerede på 600-tallet var det et oratorium viet til Martina i Roma. På 700-tallet ble det bygd en kirke ved Via del Foro under Kapitol med utsikt over Forum Romanum. Den ble bygd som en dobbelkirke, det vil si med en overkirke og en underkirke, og ble viet til den hellige Martina.
Pave Sixtus V (1585-1590) ga bygningene og plassen til Lukas-akademiet (Accademia di San Luca), en sammenslutning av kunstnere i Roma. Da Pietro da Cortona i 1634 ble utnevnt til leder for dette akademiet, bygde han en ny overkirke og innlemmet underkirken i nybygget. Under arbeidene med Pietro da Cortonas egen grav ble det den 25. oktober 1634 oppdaget en kristen grav som inneholdt beina av en romersk kvinne og hennes to brødre. Pave Urban VIII (1623-44) erklærte at dette var restene av de hellige Martina, Concordius og Epifanius, og han skrev klassiske hymner til hennes ære.

St. Martina
Roman virgin, martyred in 226, according to some authorities, more probably in 228, under the pontificate of Pope Urban I., according to others. The daughter of an ex-consul and left an orphan at an early age, she so openly testified to her Christian faith that she could not escape the persecutions under Alexander Severus. Arrested and commanded to return to idolatry, she courageously refused, whereupon she was subjected to various tortures and was finally beheaded.

The accounts of her martyrdom which we possess belong to a late period and as usual contain many amplifications which have not, as Baronius has already observed, any historical value. The relics of St. Martina were discovered on 25 Oct., 1634, in a crypt of an ancient church situated near Mamertine prison and dedicated to the saint. Urban VIII , who occupied the Holy See at that time, had the church repaired and, it would seem, composed the hymns which are sung at the office of the noble martyr, 30 January.

Den hellige Martina av Roma ( -~228)
Minnedag: 30. januar
Skytshelgen for Roma. Sammen med brødrene Concordius og Epifanius
Den forteller at Martina var datter av en ansett romer, som tre ganger hadde innehatt det høye embetet som konsul. Hun mistet begge sine foreldre i sin tidligste ungdom. Ettersom hun var helt fylt av kjærlighet til Frelseren, ville hun være fattig som ham og fordelte sin rike arv blant de fattige. Deretter ble hun opptatt blant diakonissene, som sto for den karitative tjenesten i menighetene. Martina var usedvanlig vakker og hadde mange tilbedere, deriblant keiseren selv, som til og med ville gjøre henne til sin hustru. Men hun avviste alle friere, for hun ville vie hele sitt liv til tjeneste for Gud og sine medmennesker.
Da keiser Alexander Severus fikk høre at Martina var kristen og at troen var grunnen til at hun hadde avslått hans frieri, ble han rasende. Hun ble trukket for retten og oppfordret til å avsverge sin tro. Jomfruen vendte seg i sin nød til Gud og ba om standhaftighet, for hun kjente torturmetodene som de ville bruke for å prøve å gjøre henne føyelig. Mens hun ba, rystet et jordskjelv hele byen, og statuen av Apollo styrtet sammen og med den en stor del av tempelet.
Nå ble keiseren så fortørnet at han befalte at den skjønne jomfruen skulle overlates i de grusomme torturistenes varetekt. Lakeiene pinte Martina til hun var helt utslitt. Men den svake jomfruen beviste hvor mye et menneske med Guds hjelp kan holde ut, og hun forble standhaftig. Til slutt slepte de henne utenfor byen og halshogde henne.

Concordius of Spoleto
Concordius of Spoleto is a little-known Christian saint and martyr of the second century. There is another martyr Concordius who died in the fourth century.
Saint Concordius began his life as a subdeacon in Rome, and was reclusive; spending most of his time alone and praying. He was imprisoned during the Christian persecutions of Marcus Aurelius and tried in Spoleto, Italy.
The trial was overseen and judged by the governor of Umbria, Italy. Concordius was allowed his freedom if he would denounce his faith and worship a statue of the Roman god Jupiter. When Concordius refused, the judge had him beaten on a rack. After the torture however, Concordius praised Jesus, after which he was thrown in jail. Two days later, he was offered a second chance and presented with a statue to worship. Concordius then spat on the idol and was promptly beheaded, c.175 AD. Concordius was canonized by religious officials at that time, but it is unsure when or where this occurred.
His feast day is January 1 (Roman Catholic) and June 4 (Eastern Orthodox).

St Concordius (1st January)
St Concordius was martyred in the reign of the Emperor Antoninus Pius (138-61) (or alternatively in ca. 175) and was thus one of the protomartyrs of Spoleto. He was buried "not far from Spoleto, in a place where there was abundant water".
The earliest evidence of the cult of St Concordius arises in relation to what is now the church of San Salvatore, which was first documented in 1064 as the "monasterium sancti concordi". It was subsequently known as SS Concordio e Senzia. The relics of these saints are preserved in an urn (1727) with an identifying inscription that could reproduce an older one. [Where is the reliquary ??]

Martyr Concordius of Spoleto
The Holy Martyr Concordius, son of the presbyter Gordian, was raised in piety and faith in Christ, and therefore Bishop Pius of Rome made him a subdeacon. Together with his father, St Concordius fasted and prayed, and he generously distributed alms to the needy. With the permission of his father he settled not far from Rome with his kinsman Eutychius, spending his days in prayer and good deeds. The report of his pious life reached Torquatus, the head of the Tussa region. He summoned the saint and urged him to renounce Christ, promising to make him a priest of the pagan gods.
St Concordius in turn urged Torquatus to turn to the true God, Jesus Christ. They beat the martyr and threw him in prison. Bishop Anthimus, a friend of Torquatus, asked him to release the prisoner to him. St Concordius lived with him for a while and was ordained presbyter. When Torquatus again summoned the saint and asked him what he thought about his life, the saint replied that life, for him, is Christ. They bound him and locked him up in prison, chaining him to the wall by his neck and hands.

Three days later Torquatus sent his assistant to the prison, ordering the martyr to offer sacrifice to the gods, or be condemned to death. The saint cried out, "Glory to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ," and spat on the idol of Zeus carried by the soldiers. For this, he was beheaded around the year 175. His relics rest in Italy, not far from the city of Spoleto.
