Life

Holy Martyr Peregrina is honoured as a martyr of the early Christian centuries, at Rome, in the persecution of Diocletian, about the year 304. The surviving source is very short, so tradition gives chiefly her name, which in Latin means “stranger, traveller”.

The Church counts her among the martyrs of Rome, saints of the undivided Church. No other details about her life and death have been preserved in the sources consulted.
