Today we celebrate the martyrdom of Pope Marcellinus of Rome. Saint Marcellinus was captured for being a Christian during the Pagan Roman Empire and out of fear, he agreed to sacrificing to the idols. He then felt so much remorse for his betrayal of Christ, he appeared in front of the synod of bishops, confessed his sin and de-robed himself of his papal office. The other bishops encouraged him and prayed together, saying that even Peter denied Christ 3 times and that Christ accepts the repentant sinner. He was then taken captive again and beheaded. May he intercede for us all + #saint #marcellinus #pope #popeofrome #papal #christ #jesus #jesuschrist #denial #faith #prayer #repentance #repent #confess #confession #orthodox #sophia

The Catacombs of Marcellinus and Peter are found approximately three kilometers from southeast Rome and the ancient Via Labicana, and date to the 4th century AD. The catacombs were named in reference to the Christian martyrs Marcellinus and Peter who may have been buried there according to legend, near the body of St. Tiburtius.

During excavations performed from 2004 to 2010, an estimated 20,000 skeletons were discovered in these catacombs; the skeletons were buried in loculi (individually buried within a niche), arcosolia (a burial under an arched recess), or cubicala (individuals grouped together into a burial chamber). The catacombs "cover 3 hectares with 4.5 kilometers of subterranean galleries on three different levels".
