Mother of Saint Afra, slain for Christ at Augsburg around 304.
Life
Saint Hilaria was, by tradition, the mother of Saint Afra of Augsburg in Germany. She and her three maids were seized while visiting the tomb of Saint Afra and burnt alive, around the year 304.
The Western calendars commemorate her together with Digna, Euprepia, Eunomia, Quiriacus, Largio, Crescentian, Nimmia, Juliana and companions, twenty-five in all, the others of whom were martyrs at Rome and were buried on the Ostian Way. They are commemorated on 12 August as saints of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
