St. Cecilia
Patron Saint of Music and Musicians
Tradition states that St. Cecilia was born to a noble Christian family. While forced to marry a Roman man named Valerian, she prevailed upon him to preserve her virginity and inspired him to convert to Christianity. Both were martyred in the early third century. Legend states that during their wedding, Cecilia sang to God in her heart. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians and a reminder of the central role music plays in the liturgy.
