St. Nicomedes

Martyred Under the Roman Emperor Domitian

St. Nicomedes was a Roman Catholic priest who was arrested for helping martyrs and for giving them Christian burial. One tradition states that he buried the remains of St. Felicula and was arrested.

As punishment for his “crimes” he was beaten to death with whips and buried in the catacomb on the Via Nomentana, about 90 A.D. Some of his relics have been transferred to churches in Milan and Parma, Italy.
