Today is the feast day of St. Cecilia. According to legend, Cecilia was a young Christian of high rank betrothed to a Roman named Valerian. Through her influence, Valerian was converted, and was promptly martyred along with his brother, Tiburtius.
The legend about Cecilia’s death first involved an insufficiently heated scalding bath. When that didn’t work, Cecilia was struck three times on the neck with a sword (obviously not honed correctly,) she lived for three days, and asked the pope to convert her home into a church. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians, singers and music.
