Saint Valentina

Saint Valentina

Saint Valentina was a Christian virgin and martyr from Caesarea in Palestine, martyred during the persecutions under Emperor Julian the Apostate around 308 AD. She is remembered for her courage and faith, facing torture and execution rather than renounce Christianity. According to tradition, she was arrested with her companions Marciana and Thea. Their steadfastness became an inspiration to early Christians.
