St. Lawrence
Saint Lawrence was the first of the seven Deacons of the Roman Church. He assisted the Pope when celebrating Mass, distributed the Holy Eucharist to the faithful, ad ministered the Church’s possessions, and dispensed the revenues among the poor. St. Lawrence was one of the victims of the persecution of the Emperor Valerian in 258, like Pope Sixtus II and many other members of the Roman clergy.
In August, 258, the Emperor issued an edict commanding that all Bishops, Priests and Deacons should be put to death immediately. This command was promptly carried out. Pope Sixtus II was arrested in one of the catacombs and executed at once. Two other Deacons, Felicissimus and Agapitus, were put to death the same day. Four days later, on Au gust 10th, St. Lawrence also suffered a martyr’s death. He was laid on an iron bed in the shape of a gridiron, under which were placed half-lighted coals, so as to pro long his tortures and make his death more painful. Pope Damasus built a basilica in Rome, which he dedicated to St. Lawrence. It is now known as that of San Lorenzo in Damaso.
