November 8th is the Feast Day of the Four Crowned Martyrs, a group of Christian sculptors, who were executed during the reign of Emperor Diocletian (r. 284-305) for refusing to carve a pagan idol. 

The ancient church of Santi Quattro Coronati is dedicated to the four martyrs, who became the patron saints of sculptors.
