Life

Holy Martyr Valeria is commemorated in the Church's calendar on 23 July (new style). No details of the place and time of her suffering survive in the sources consulted, so she is known chiefly by her name and by the veneration she receives as a martyr of Christ.

The name Valeria is Latin, from the verb meaning to be strong and healthy.
