Life

The Holy Martyrs Actinea and Graecina were two women martyrs of the fourth century. Actinea was beheaded at Volterra in Tuscany under the emperor Diocletian. The sources say nothing more about their lives or about the death of Graecina.

They are commemorated on 16 June among the saints of the West before the Great Schism (saints of the undivided Church), by the New Calendar.
