Life
Saint Clerina, martyr, suffered at Carthage in the time of the emperor Decius (249-251), together with her brothers Laurentinus and Laurence. She is commemorated on 10 August, the day of Laurentinus.
Their nephew Celerinus suffered so greatly that he is spoken of as a martyr too, though he remained alive and was received into the clergy by Saint Cyprian, bishop of Carthage.
