Life

Gaudentia of Rome is a holy martyr, probably of Rome, commemorated on 30 August. The Hieronymian Martyrology of the early 6th century says only “Gaudentia the virgin and three others”, the only ancient mention. She is sometimes identified with Candida; others think the name is a scribal error. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).

Commemorated the same day August 30
