Corona

Saint Corona, a Christian martyr of the second century, is honored for her steadfast witness to Christ in a time of persecution. Born around the year 160 in an unknown place, she gave her life for the Gospel and is remembered as having died in 177. Though little is recorded about her daily life or occupation, her title of martyr speaks clearly: she chose fidelity to the Lord even at the cost of her own life. The Church keeps her memory on May 14, inviting the faithful to contemplate the strength God gives to those who endure trials for His name. Saint Corona is especially venerated as patron of Monte Romano, where her intercession is sought with trust and devotion.
