ABOUT ST CECILIA c 177 -Virgin and Martyr.  Her parents gave her in marriage to Valerian of Trastevere who honored her desire for remaining a virgin. Eventually he, along with his brother were baptized into the church. They were both martyred for the faith and Cecelia buried them in her villa on the Appian Way and was arrested because of it and was martyred.
They tried to suffocate her but were unsuccessful so she was beheaded. She was interred at the Catacomb Callisto (Rome) in 817 and there is a statue in the Catacombs of her lying down, 3 fingers out reaching, symbolizing the trinity. Her incorrupt body rests now in Trastevere.
On her wedding day, she sang a hymn in her heart for the love of Jesus, her true spouse, led her to become the patroness of musicians, singers and music.
