S. Fortunatus is mentioned, together with many other martyrs, in the
Roman and other Martyrologies on Feb. 2nd, as having suffered at Rome;
but their Acts have not been preserved. The body of S. Fortunatus was
found in 1606, in the cemetery of S. Callixtus, and was given by Pope
Paul V. to the Rev. Jacobus Tirinus, S.J., for the new and beautiful
Jesuit church he had built in Antwerp, in the year 1622. On account of
Feb. 2nd being the Feast of the Purification, the commemoration of S.
Fortunatus has been postponed in that church till Feb. 3rd.
