ST CECILIA:  ITALY – (Martyred c.117 ) Virgin and Martyr – Patroness of Music and musicians. Cecilia (Caecilia or Cacilia)) Reports of her martyrdom began to appear in the middle of the 5th century. Cecilia was martyred for her faith and was condemned to be suffocated in the bath where she lived. But she survived so was beheaded. The executioner tried 3 times to sever her head but she lived for 3 more days and prayed for the poor. She requested her home become a church. Her tomb was discovered in the Catacomb of Callistus. (Rome) in 817. We visited her tomb as a family and were overcome by the presence of her love for our Lord.
