From the Roman Martyrology: January 16th

"In Morocco, Africa, the passion of the five proto-martyrs of the Order of Friars Minor, namely, Bernard, Peter and Otho, priests, and Accurisus and Adjutus, lay-brethren; who for preaching the Catholic faith and because of their rejection of the Mohammedan Law, after divers torments and mockeries, were beheaded by the Saracen king."
