ST SABINA OF ROME

ST SABINA OF ROME St Sabina died c. 127. According to Saint Sabina's untrustworthy ‘acta’, she was a rich and noble widow (of Valentine?) from Umbria, Italy. Her virginal, Syrian servant, Saint Seraphia, was such a model of Christian charity and obedience that she converted her mistress, who soon outshone her teacher in fervor and piety. At the beginning of Hadrian's persecution, Beryllus, governor of the province, arrested Sabina and Seraphia. The latter was beaten to death with clubs. Sabina was released because of her high station at the pleading of her friends. She was retaken the following year and martyred at Rome. The Bollandists have proven that she was, indeed, a Roman martyr. About 430, a basilica was dedicated to her in Rome, which was one of the station churches of Lent. Some say that she gave her home to the Christians as a church and that this was the site for the later erection of the basilica. Saint Dominic had a special devotion to this Saint Sabina St Sabina is the patron Saint of Rome, children who have difficulty in walking, and of housewives.
