Saint of the day and spiritual life #Saint Cecilia

Saint Cecilia is a Christian saint, virgin and martyr, venerated since late antiquity. She is believed to have lived in the 3rd century in Rome, from a noble family: the Cecilii. Although the Acts of her life (the “Passio”) are not 100% historically reliable, her existence has never been seriously questioned by the Church.

Saint Cecilia lived in Rome in the 3rd century, during a period of persecution against Christians. Coming from a noble family, she is said to have been educated in the Christian faith from a very young age. Despite her vow of chastity, she was married against her will to a pagan nobleman, Valerian.
