St. Cecilia of Rome

Lily of Heaven c. AD 200 – 235

Patronage Music & Poetry

Feast Day November 22

Fun Fact

Cecilia never played an instrument. She sang and praised God on her wedding day and that's why she's the patroness of music.

Cecilia chose to keep her virginity in her marriage and convinced her husband to become a Christian because of her convictions.

Prayer

Saint Cecilia, intercede to the Holy Ghost that I may be profoundly open to experiencing the beauty of music and poetry in my life.

Amen.
