________________________________
Santa Cecilia is a legendary 2nd or 3rd century Roman martyr who vowed her virginity to God but was married to the youth Valerian by her parents. Upon hearing the profane music of her earthly wedding Cecilia sang an interior hymn to God. For this reason she is patroness of musicians. Cecilia converted her husband Valerian and his brother Tiburtius.
The two brothers were arrested and executed by the Romans under Diocletian. Cecilia was arrested soon afterwards and was condemned to be suffocated. This failed to kill her and so the Romans had her beheaded. In sacred art Cecilia is often shown holding the palm of martyrdom and playing a musical instrument such as the organ or violin.
Her feast day is November 22.
