Saint Benedicta of Rome, a 6th-century virgin and martyr, was a devoted nun in a convent founded by Saint Galla. Known for her profound faith and mystical experiences, she received a vision from Saint Peter foretelling her death. According to Pope Saint Gregory the Great, Benedicta earnestly prayed to join her beloved friend, Saint Galla, in eternal rest, passing away thirty days after Galla’s death. Her life exemplified purity and dedication to Christ. Venerated in the pre-1970 Roman Martyrology, her feast was celebrated in Laon, France, honoring her martyrdom and spiritual legacy.
