Today, Catholics celebrate Saint Cyr. Martyred at the age of three, he was killed just before his mother, Saint Julitte, around 304. The Roman emperor Diocletian decreed a great persecution against Christians. Julitte, a widow and noblewoman, was a target by the government. She appeared in court with her son, and confirmed her belief. The child was taken from him, and struggling, he was thrown down the steps by the governor, he died with his neck broken. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #June 16 #saintCyr #Christianity
