Saint Tarcisius, martyr, and buried in Rome, in the cemetery of Calliste on the Appian Way, in the 3rd century. As Pope Saint Damasus relates, while Tarcisius wore the sacrament of Christ hidden under his toga, he wanted to prevent the Eucharist from being profaned by the furious crowd of pagans and preferred to be stoned to death rather than deliver the holy species to the pagans.
