About Me
Hello, my name is St.Cecilia. I don't remember much about my childhood and not many other people do either. But, I lived in the second century in Rome, Italy,with my family. We were part of the ruling class. I was raised Christian in a patriarch family during the time of great persecutions of Christians. In the second century, when I lived, it was not lawful to be a Christian. We Christians refused to worship the Roman rulers as Gods. Because of that, the Romans declared that it was illegal to be a Christian. If you did not convert, you would be executed. I was forced into marriage with a nobleman named Valerian. But I later convinced him to respect my virginity and become a Christian. I also convinced his brother, Tiburtius, to join the faith. Together we performed burials for other martyred Christians.

I have always had a great love and devotion for god. I am also the patron saint of music, musicians, and poets.I also have many churches named after me. Including a Basilica in Rome, Italy (where I was born). My feast day is November 22nd. Christians celebrate my life, music, and musicians in the church. There is also a religious order named The Dominican sisters of Saint Cecilia. They live a mostly monastic life, but they also teach school. There is curently a monastary in Nashville, Tennessee. It was founded in 1860.
