Saturnina

Holy Martyr Saturnina is one of the martyrs of Abitinae in proconsular Africa, put to death in the persecution of Diocletian, in the year 304. The forty-⁠nine persons were found guilty of having celebrated Sunday worship, despite the emperor's edict forbidding Christian assemblies, under the priest Saturninus, while the local bishop, Fundanus, had handed over the scriptures to the authorities. They were arrested, sent to Carthage and tried on 12 February by the proconsul Anullinus. They are commemorated on 12 February (new style). The sources at hand give no personal details about Saturnina.
