He was the sixteenth Pope. He ruled the Catholic Church as Christ’s Vicar for fourteen years. He did beautiful work in taking care of the burying grounds of the Christian martyrs of the early centuries. There were eleven million of these martyrs in less than three hundred years. Saint Zephyrinus is responsible for the use of metal and, indeed, gold-lined, chalices at Mass to hold the Precious Blood of Jesus.
