Martyr
Lucina
A woman martyr honored at Rome, commemorated in the Western calendars.
Life
Saint Lucina is commemorated in the Western calendars as an early martyr of Rome. The traditional account, known from the Life of Saint Sebastian, shows her as a devout Roman woman of the third century, the daughter of Carpasius and Marmenia, who gathered and buried the bodies of several martyrs, among them Sebastian, Marcellinus the priest and Peter the exorcist, in the cemetery "of the two laurels" on the Via Labicana.
It is said that Sebastian appeared to her in a vision and told her where his body had been secretly thrown into a pit by his executioners; so the Christians found it and buried it near the relics of the Apostles Peter and Paul. She is commemorated on 30 June as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
