Saint Victoriana, a martyr of the early Christian Church, lived during the 3rd or 4th century in Rome. Little is known of her life, but she is venerated for her steadfast faith and ultimate sacrifice. As a Christian, she faced persecution under Roman authorities, refusing to renounce her beliefs despite severe trials. Her martyrdom, likely during the Diocletianic Persecution, exemplified her courage and devotion. Victoriana’s relics are preserved in the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome, where her wax-enhanced remains inspire pilgrims. Her feast day is celebrated on December 23
