P
over a thousand years or Santa Cecilia has been highly revered in the Catholic Church.
na very old tradition said to have belonged to one of the leading families of Rome, who used to wear a robe of cloth very rough and had consecrated her virginity to God. S parents
us engaged to a young man named Valerian, but he told Cecilia that she had taken a vow of virginity and that if he wanted to see the angel of God had become a Christian. Valeriano was instructed by Pope Urban and was baptized. Then enter Cecilia and Valerian convinced Tiburcio, the brother, and also managed to become a Christian.
L
as Cecilia ancient stories say that she saw her guardian angel. The mayor of Rome, Almachius, had forbidden the burial of the bodies of Christians. But Valerian and Tiburcio devoted to bury all the bodies of Christians who were. So they were arrested. Brought to the mayor, he asked them to declare who worshiped Jupiter. They told him to worship only the true God of heaven and His Son Jesus Christ. Then they were fiercely beaten and then killed them. The two holy martyrs encouraged other Christians of Rome to suffer like all the horrors, so as not to be unfaithful to the holy religion. E n followed Cecilia police arrested and demanded that he renounce the religion of Christ. She said he preferred death rather than deny the true religion. Then she was taken next to a hot oven for treating to suffocate with the terrible gas coming out of there, but instead of suffocating her joyful singing (perhaps why have named patron saint of musicians). Given that this martyrdom could not stop it, the cruel Almachius ordered his head cut off. The saint before he died he asked Pope Urban in his beautiful home became a temple to pray, and did so after his martyrdom. Before he died, he divided all his possessions to the poor. 1599 E | allowed

Santa Cecilia holy, tell God that we too prefer thousand deaths rather than be unfaithful to our holy religion.
