Susanna of Toul

Saint Susanna, martyr, was beheaded for the faith at Grand in the Vosges and is venerated in the former diocese of Toul in Lorraine. She is commemorated on 11 October. She is said to have died in 362.

She was a pious woman of the ancient pagus Bleonensis, in Belgica Secunda, now Champagne. She was the sister in faith of Saints Eucharius, Elophius and Libera, who suffered on 11 October 362, in the persecution in the time of the emperor Julian.

The name sancta Suzana appears in the martyrologies of the monastery of Poussay and in the breviaries of Toul. For this reason, although her name is Semitic, she is linked with the legendary family of Baccius and Lientrude, who lived in the districts called Grandesina.
