Description
Excerpt from The Lives of the Saints
When brought before Aurelian, she was asked what had become of the great wealth of her brother. She answered, My brother''s goods, and my own have been distributed among the poor, and now all that I have to give to my Lord Jesus Christ is this poor weak body of mine, which I yield up joyfully.
This reply having irritated the magistrate, he ordered her to be beaten, and then executed. The Christians took up her body, and laid it in the cemetery on the Salarian way.
