Feast Of Saint Justin The Martyr - 14 April

Quoted from Divinum Officium [1]

April 14th 2021, the 2nd day of the Moon, were born to better life:

On the morrow we keep the feast of the holy martyr Justin, the admirable philosopher. He had presented to the Emperors Marcus Antoninus Verus and Lucius Aurelius born modus his second book [2] in defence of our religion, and was then earnestly spreading the same at Rome by his disputations when he was accused of Christianity through the devices of Crescens the Cynic, whose life and infamous manners he had rebuked, and for a reward of his faithful speaking he received upon this day the crown of martyrdom.

[2] Quoted from Wikipedia  without hyperlinks:

"The Dialogue  is a later work than the First Apology; the date of composition of the latter, judging from the fact that it was addressed to Antoninus Pius and his adopted sons Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, must fall between 147 and 161. In the Dialogue with Trypho, after an introductory section, Justin undertakes to show that Christianity is the new law for all men."  See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Martyr
