Life

Holy Martyr Hilaria of Augsburg is the mother of Saint Afra and was put to death for the faith at Augsburg around 304, in the persecution of Diocletian. One note gives 8 August 304 as the day of her death.

A tradition ties her to Saint Cyriacus of Augsburg, who suffered in the same place and time, and to Dionysius, her brother and the uncle of Saint Afra. No other reliable details are found in the sources at hand. She is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
