Saint of the day and spiritual life #virginité

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 Lucy was born in Syracuse, Sicily, in the late 3rd or early 4th century. According to tradition, she came from a noble Christian family. At a young age, she took a vow of virginity and dedicated her life to God. However, her faith and determination to follow her vocation encountered obstacles, particularly from her family and the governor of the city. After refusing to marry a pagan man, she was denounced as a Christian and persecuted under the Emperor Diocletian.
