Life
Holy Martyr Honorina was a virgin and martyr in Roman Gaul in the north, in the first decades of the fourth century, in the persecution of Diocletian, around the year 303. Very little is known of her apart from the martyrdom she suffered for her faith. She is one of the earliest martyrs of Gaul and is still revered in northern France, especially in Normandy and Île-de-France. Her relics are kept at Conflans-Sainte-Honorine. She is venerated as a saint of the undivided Church and is commemorated on 27 February (new calendar).
