St. Cecilia, a young woman, was a martyr in the Roman Empire. During the first Eucharistic Prayer she is named, as worshippers call upon Saint Cecila along with other saints.

Fifteen hundred years after her death her body was found, showing the wounds told in the story about her death. Her body is incorrupt, that is, it has never decayed.

This story about her body is told shortly at http://thepapist.org/after-seeing-this-how-can-anyone-doubt/

Her body is now in the Church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere in Rome. This fifth century church was built over the house where she had lived.

Thank you for that amazing article! St. Cecilia is one of my favorite saints. What a pity there was no photography the year her incorrupt body was discovered. She must have been a beautiful lady when
she was alive, and even after.

God Bless you, Happy Feast Day and Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
