They suffered at Milan under Maximian Herculeus about the year 304.
Their bodies were first interred without the walls of the city,
but afterward brought into it, and deposited in the place where a
church was built over their tomb, to which great multitudes of people
resorted with wonderful devotion, as Paulinus testifies in his life
of St. Ambrose. In the same church St. Ambrose discovered the relics
of SS. Gervasius and Protasius, as himself relates in his letter to
his sister Marcellina. The people continued to venerate the relics
of SS. Nabor and Felix with the same ardor of devotion, as that holy
doctor assures us.[117] They are still honored in the same church,
which at present bears the name of St. Francis. See Solier the
Bollandist, t. 3, Julij, p. 280.
