1669 Martyrdom of Saint Aquilina 12 Year Old Girl Martyr Byblos Milan Relics

 

Saint Aquilina was a 3^rd-century Christian child from Byblos known for being martyred at only twelve years old. After leading her friends to Christ and not denouncing him in front of Volusian, Volusian ordered her to be tortured to death. After her body was disposed of, her body was miraculously raised and she denounced paganism and Governor Volusian before she was ultimately decapitated.

 

The story of her life was recorded by numerous historians of the time. In the 17^th-century, Italian author Angelico Canevese prepared an edition life of Aquilina published in Milan, where the relics of Saint Aquilina resided in the Basilica of San Lorenzo.
