Santi Mario e Compagni Martiri is a 20th-century parochial church and titular church in southeast Rome, dedicated to Marius, Martha, Audifax, and Abachum.
Santi Mario e Compagni Martiri was built in 1989–93 to a modernist design by Angelo Zamagna. [1] Pope John Paul II visited in 1995. [2]
It is named in honour of Marius, Martha, Audifax, and Abachum, a family of Persian Christians who were martyred in Rome in AD 270. [3]
The church was badly damaged in an accidental fire on Christmas Eve 2007; it was rededicated on 14 December 2008. [4]
On 7 December 2024, Pope Francis made it a titular church to be held by a cardinal-priest. [5]
There are more than 930 churches in Rome, which makes it the city with the largest number of churches in the world. Almost all of these are Catholic.
Saints Marius, Martha, Audifax, and Abachum were, according to their largely legendary passio of the 6th century, four saints of the same family. They came from Persia to Rome, and were martyred in 270 for sympathizing with Christian martyrs and burying their bodies. Some ancient martyrologies place the date of their death between 268 and 270, during the reign of Claudius II, although there was no persecution of Christians during this time.
