Santa Cecilia, life of the Roman saint

Cecilia of Rome , universally known as Saint Cecilia of Rome, was a Roman citizen belonging to a noble family. He lived in the capital of the Roman Empire between the second and third centuries after Christ.

Santa Cecilia was educated in the prevailing polytheistic religions at that time. Very soon he discovered the Christian faith and found in it the true path. He converted to and defended the teachings of Jesus.

Saint Cecilia , like many early Christians, was killed by the authorities for defending the teachings and truth of Jesus. The Saint was one of the many martyrs who suffered the torments of the repression of the Roman Empire.
