Valentina of Caesarea in Palestine

Holy Martyr Valentina of Caesarea in Palestine, also called Alevtina, was born in Egypt and suffered in the year 308, at Caesarea in Palestine, together with her sister Chionia and with Paul, another confessor. She is commemorated on 29 July.

In the time of the persecution of Emperor Maximinus (305 to 313) the three were brought to Caesarea in Palestine. Without any fear of the governor, they confessed themselves followers of Christ. The sisters Valentina and Chionia, after merciless torments, were burned alive, and Paul was beheaded.
