CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sts. Chrysanthus and Daria |
 | | Roman martyrs, buried on the Via Salaria Nova, and whose tombs, according to the testimony of the itinerary guides to the tombs of the Roman martyrs, were publicly venerated (De Rossi, "Roma Sotterranea", I, 176). |
 | | Chrysanthus and Daria were themselves condemned to death, led to a sandpit in the Via Salaria, and there stoned to death. |
 | | This legend is evidently connected with a number of Roman martyrs, whose tombs were venerated in the catacombs of the Via Salaria, near those of Chrysanthus and Daria. |
