Life
Saint Savina of Milan, also called Sabina, was born at Milan in Italy and died in 311, in the time of Diocletian's persecution.
Tradition says that she ministered to the martyrs in prison and buried their bodies after their sufferings; for this she was put to death. She reposed, according to tradition, while praying at the tomb of the Saints Nabor and Felix.
She is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 30 January (new style), in the Orthodox and Catholic Churches. A church and a square in Victoria, Gozo, bear her name.
