Cecelia, Martyr. Feast Day 22nd November.

Although there are few facts known about her life she is thought to have been a young Roman noble woman who lived in the 2nd or 3rd century. She has been venerated as a martyr and saint from the earliest centuries, her feast day celebrated from at least the 4th century. Her name appears in the Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer I). It is thought that the expression that she 'sang to God in her heart', eventually led to her being painted playing an organ, for this she is known as the patron saint of musicians.

Artwork by the Benedictine Sisters of Turvey Abbey.
