The life of St Eleutherius of Illyria
He went back to Rome, and there under Hadrian he was seized for preaching Christ openly and beheaded. An official sent to deal with him was so struck by what he saw that he too came to believe, and was put to death alongside him, though the sources that tell this Life do not agree on the man's name. His mother came to weep over her son's body and would not be turned away, and for that she too was put to death. Both are kept in the Church's memory on the same day, mother and son together.
