Maxima

Maxima was a virgin of Tebourba (Thuburbo) in North Africa, put to death for Christ around the year 304 under Diocletian. The sources commemorate her together with Donatilla and Secunda, two other virgin martyrs; Secunda was only twelve years old. They are saints of the undivided Church, venerated in the West.

Their commemoration falls on 30 July (new calendar); the Churches on the Old Calendar keep the same day of the Menaion on 12 August of the civil calendar.
