At Agen in France, St. Caprasius, martyr.  He was hiding in a cavern to avoid the violence of the persecution when the report of the blessed virgin Faith’s courage in suffering for Christ roused him to endure the torments.  He prayed to God that, if he were deemed worthy of the glory of martyrdom, clear water might flow from the rock of his cave.  God granted his prayer, and he went with confidence to the scene of the trial, where, after a valiant struggle, he merited the palm of martyrdom under Maximian.
