Saint Crispina

Catholic Saint

st.Crispina-Noblewoman and martyr, acclaimed by St. Augustine

Feast Day : December 5

 

 

Born in Thagara to a noble family, Crispina was raised as a Christian. During persecutions she was arrested and brought before the proconsul Anulinus. She refused to renounce her faith when threatened with punishment. Anulinus had her head shaved (a sign of degradation) and told her she would be executed if she did not deny her faith. Crispina replied that she cared not for this life. She was beheaded on December 5 in about 304. In his sermons, Augustine held Crispina as a model for Christians: she could have lived a life of luxury and ease, but chose eternal glory.
