A Christian child of Byblos in Phoenicia under Diocletian who at twelve had already led a friend to Christ; accused before the governor Volusian and refusing to deny the Lord, she was beaten and had her ears pierced through with heated rods, healed in the night by an angel, and gave up her spirit before the executioner's stroke.
