St Eugenia, Virgin and Martyr


From Fr Alban Butler's Lives of the Saints:

SHE suffered at Rome under Valerian about the year 257, and is mentioned by St. Avitus, 1 though we have no authentic acts of her sufferings, those recited by Metaphrastes and Surius deserving no notice. She is also mentioned in the lives of SS. Protus and Hyacinthus, MM. on the 11th of September, p. 116. 1

Note 1. S. Avitus de Virgin. l. 6, p. 1312. [back]
