St. Philomena Research Paper
St. Philomena
The saint I chose was St. Philomena. I chose her after watching a french film called “Aurore”. The film starts with Aurore as a young girl and her mother praying to the saint. When I first saw Philomena in the film and heard her story I felt a deep sense of compassion towards her. Another reason I chose her was because when she had set her mind to not marry the emperor she kept refusing, even when she was subjected to torture.
Philomena is the Saint of babies, infants, and youth. Her feast day is August 11. Most of what is known about Philomena comes from a nun who says the saint appeared to her in a vision. Philomena was a Greek princess born on January 10th who died at the age of 14 on August 10th. She was martyred by Diocletian
