St. Cecilia Comments
In the fourth century appeared a Greek religious romance on the Loves of Cecilia and Valerian, written, like those of Chrysanthus and Daria, Julian and Basilissa, in glorification of the virginal life, and with the purpose of taking the place of the sensual romances of Daphnis and Chloe, Chereas and Callirhoe, etc., which were then popular.

I heard heavenly music in my heart when I got married.
Because of Saint Cecilia, I have been inspired to make a vow of chastity, and to remain a virgin for the rest of my life. I believe that I have a guardian angel watching over me, Rajah.
I pray that my future husband will accept these terms, and honor my wishes.
SAINT CECILIA IS MY FAVORITE. AND MY LIFE
When I was but a lass, I was always close to my Aunt Cece.
When I contracted the Buffin Disease last year, spare me, I thought I would surely perish.
BUT I EXPERIENCED A MIRACLE
Every doctor's office I went to, there would be a poster with a letter on it.
After unscrambling all these clues, i realized it spelled out 'Cecilia'
SHE IS MY SAINT
St. Cecilia, help the poor and the hungry. Please open up more soup kitchens to feed the homeless and those who lost their jobs. Thank you for listening our prayers.
I'm choosing Saint Cecilia for my confirmations saint! I love her, but in my report i have to write why i picked her and I don't know how to put it into words, i love her and i love music but i don't know what else to say...any advice?
St. Cecilia is a really great saint. She was the first saint I looked at and at first I wasn't sure whether or not to pick her for my saint's report. Something must have been wrong with me before because she truly is amazing and I am happy to have learned about her and honored to be writing about her. Her story has opened my eyes on how I should live as a Christian today. Thank you for this site also. Very good article and this website is really informative! I learned about so many other people! :)

The day I finally decided on her for my Confirmation Saint, a full, double rainbow appeared in the sky outside my apartment complex.
Hi, I am Haley, I'm a freshman and November 22 is a few days short of my Confirmation date and also that is St. Cecilia's Feast Day. I am much into music and this is why I choose this saint. Well that's pretty much all I have to say. God Bless.

I am a Baptist/presbyterian and I needed to choose a martyr to write about in a paper. I am very glad I chose St. Caecelia. Even though she's canonized by the Catholic church, that's fine with me!
