Life

Holy Martyr Paulina received martyrdom at Rome around 302, in the persecution of Diocletian. Among the saints of this name, the Western calendar remembers Paulina, the daughter of the jailer Artemius: Artemius, a jailer in one of the prisons of Rome, was converted with his wife Candida and their daughter by Saint Peter the Exorcist and baptized by Saint Marcellinus. Artemius was beheaded, and his wife and daughter were buried alive under a pile of stones. They are remembered on 6 June. The sources do not say whether our record refers to her.
