| − | The '''''Martyrologium Romanum''''', or '''Roman Martyrology''' is a catalogue of the sufferings and death of Christians [[martyr]]ed for their faith, from the ancient days of the [[Roman Empire]], beginning with [[Stephen]], up to the present day in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Oceanea, the Philippines, and in the countries of Latin and South America. Like the Roman Missal and the Roman Breviary, the Roman Martyrology is an official liturgical book of the Catholic Church. It provides an extensive but not exhaustive list of the saints recognized by the Church. Several saints are remembered, commemorated and celebrated every day of the year. The [[Orthodox Church]] likewise has a calendar of saints and martyrs for every day and season, with emphasis on Eastern Christianity in the ''Synaxarion'' and the longer ''Martyrologion''.<ref>See article [https://ro.orthodoxwiki.org/Martirologiu Martirologiu - OrthodoxWiki (ro.orthodoxwiki.org)]</ref> | + | The '''''Martyrologium Romanum''''', or '''Roman Martyrology''' is a catalogue of the sufferings and death of Christians [[martyr]]ed for their faith, from the ancient days of the [[Roman Empire]], beginning with [[Stephen]], up to the present day in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, [[Oceania]], the Philippines, and in the countries of Latin and South America.
