Saint Christina - Virgin and Martyr (300). Saint Christina was the daughter of a rich and powerful and pagan magistrate named Urban. Saint Christina broke the father's golden idolsthem, then distributed the pieces among the poor. Infuriated by this act, Urban became the persecutor of his own daughter. Her relics are now at Palermo in Sicily.
