Saint Cecilia Notes:

The name of my Saint is St.Cecilia. I choose St.Cecilia because she is the patron Saint of music. St.Cecilia being the Saint of music is not the only reason I choose her. I also choose her because has a very interesting story.

St. Cecilia's feast day is November 29th. St Cecilia is the patron saint of music. Cecilia was married to Valerian. Cecilia wanted to stay a virgin. She asked Saints and angels to protect her form anyone who would try to take it away form her. Cecilia asked her husband if he wanted to know a secret. She would tell him if he swore not to tell anyone. Her husband swore. Cecilia told him that there was an angel who guarded her form anyone who would touch her. Valerian asked Saint Cecilia to show him the angel. Cecilia said yes, but first you must be baptized. Valerian agreed.

After Valerian was baptized he returned and saw the angel. Valerian saw the angel holding two crowns of lilies and roses. By Preaching, Cecilia had changed four hundred people..Cecilia the got arrested. She had to be suffocated in the baths. For a night and a day Cecilia had to bear extreme heat, but didn't sweat. After Almachius found out he sent someone to cut off Cecilia's head. The man had swung at Cecilia three times, but wasn't able to cut off her head. Cecilia lived for three days. Cecilia died and was buried. Paul Emilius Sfondrati, a cardinal rebuilt the Church of St. Cecilia. St Cecilia is called the patron Saint of music because she heard joyful music in her heart when she got married.
