St. Mary the Slave

Feastday: November 1
Died: 300

Martyr and slave of a Roman patrician named Tertullus. Delivered to the local prefect on charges of being a Christian, despite Tertullus’ effort to save her, Mary suffered unspeakable tortures. Spectators demanded her release, and the prefect turned her over to the custody of a soldier. He aided her escape. She died a natural death but is venerated as a martyr because of the intensity of her sufferings.

    I wish that there was more information, but I suppose there's only so much out there. I would like to know what she is the patron saint of, though, for a religion project I'm doing. Anyone know?
