Munditia

Holy Martyr Munditia is a martyr of Rome, put to death for Christ around 310. Her relics were taken from the catacombs of Saint Cyriaca in Rome and given in 1675 to the Munich councillor and merchant Franz Benedikt Höger, as a gift for the church of Saint Peter in that city. They were placed there on 5 September 1677, in a Baroque shrine.

The slab that covered her tomb carries an inscription with the letters "APC". The Roman document of authenticity interprets them as "ascia plexa capita" (beheaded with an axe), but they could also mean "Andronico Probo consulibus", that is, the year 310. In 1804 the authorities required the relics to be covered with boards; these were removed in 1883, at the restoration of the church. The remains consist of a skeleton covered with translucent gauze and adorned with rich garments and jewels, with crystal eyes in the skull. The saint is regarded as patron of unmarried women. She is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
