Story of Saint Cecilia

Saint Cecilia lived in the 3rd century AD in Rome. From a young age, she took a vow of chastity. Her husband Valerian and his brother Tiburtius converted to Christianity through her faith. After their deaths, Cecilia was arrested and condemned to death for her faith, surviving several execution attempts before ultimately dying on November 22, probably in the year 230 AD.

Her body is now housed in the Basilica of Saint Cecilia in Trastevere, Rome. According to legend, on her wedding day, she played music while hearing the music of the angels.
