(Variously written in early calendars and martyrologies Abdo, Abdus; Sennes,
Sennis, Zennen.)
Persian martyrs under Decius, about A.D. 250, and commemorated 30 July.
The veneration paid them dates from as early as the third century, though their
Acts, written for the most part prior to the ninth century, contain several
fictitious statements about the cause and occasion of their coming to Rome and
the nature of their torments. It is related in these Acts that their bodies were
buried by a subdeacon, Quirinus, and transferred in the reign of Constantine to
the Pontian cemetery on the road to Porto, near the gates of Rome. A fresco
found on the sarcophagus supposed to contain their remains represents them
receiving crowns from Christ. Accordin to Martigny, this fresco dates from the
seventh century. Several cities, notably Florence and Soissons, claim possession
of their bodies, but the Bollandists say that they rest in Rome.
