(Bangalore, INDIA) On November 22nd, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Cecilia. She is said to be one of the most famous of the Roman martyrs. As the story goes, despite her vow of virginity, she was forced by her parents to marry a pagan nobleman named Valerian. During the wedding, Cecilia sat apart singing to God in her heart. Valerian respected her vow and did not force himself on her. Her witness to the faith eventually led him to become a Christian. Cecilia died a martyr after her husband, Valerian. She was later declared the patron saint of musicians.

The tomb of St. Cecilia, the first incorrupt saint. This famous effigy depicts the position her body was found in. Note the wound in her neck from her martyrdom., Santa Cecilia in Trastevere, Rome.
