Life

Martiana of Mauritania (Marciana) was a virgin and martyr in Mauretania Caesariensis, in North Africa, today Algeria. She is remembered on 9 January.

The Roman Martyrology says that Saint Marciana, a virgin, ended her martyrdom by being condemned to the beasts. We have no data on the time of her martyrdom.

She is a saint of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is scant.
