Saints Romula, Redempta and Herundo were three holy virgins who lived as ascetics near the church of Saint Mary Major in Rome and reposed around the year 580. Saint Gregory the Great speaks of Romula in his Dialogues as one consecrated to God.
They are commemorated on 23 July as saints of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar. Our sources preserve no further details of their lives.
