Florence

Saint Florence was a young Christian martyred at Agde in Gallia Narbonensis, in the persecution of Diocletian, at the beginning of the fourth century. She is honored with the saints Modestus and Tiberius. Tradition says that, seeing the steadfastness of Tiberius and Modestus in their torments, she at once turned to the Christian faith and was joined with them in martyrdom.

Her bones are kept in the church of Saint-⁠Pierre at Palavas-⁠les-⁠Flots. The name of the town of Florensac is linked by some to the young martyr, and a municipality in Quebec, Sainte-⁠Florence, bears her name. Our source gives no date of commemoration.
