Saint Cecilia

Saint Cecilia is considered the patron saint of musicians and music in the Catholic tradition. She lived in Rome during the 2nd or 3rd century and is believed to have been a noblewoman who showed deep faith and dedication to God. According to legend, she secretly married a Christian man and endured persecution for her beliefs, ultimately dying for her faith. Cecilia’s association with music stems from her lifelong love of singing and playing instruments, inspiring her to become a symbol of artistic devotion and spiritual expression through music. Her feast day is celebrated on November 22nd.
