Life
A maiden of Padua martyred by the sword under Diocletian, venerated by the Paduans from earliest times as their protomartyr and patroness beside Prosdocimus, their first bishop. The great basilica of Santa Giustina rose over her tomb, and the reforming Benedictine congregation born there carried her name across Europe.
