On the same day, Saint Susanna, a maiden of high birth, who, on account of her vow of Virginity, had refused to marry Galerius Maximus, son of The Emperor Diocletian, was beheaded in her house about 295 A.D.

Her body is preserved with that of her father, Saint Gabinus, and that of Saint Felicitas, mother of The Seven Martyrs, honoured on 10 July, in the Church of Saint Susanna, where The Station is held on The Saturday of The Third Week in Lent.

Mass: Salus autem.
