Pudentiana
Pudentiana is a virgin and martyr of the 2nd century who refused to worship the Roman Emperors Marcus Aurelius and Antoninus Pius as deities. She is sometimes locally known as "Potentiana" and is often coupled with her sister, Praxedes the martyress. Legend According to her ''acta'' and the Martyrology of Reichenau, she was a Roman virgin of the early church, daughter of Saint Pudens, friend of the Apostles, and sister of Praxedes. Praxedes and Pudentiana, together with Pope Pius I, built a baptistry in the church inside their father's house, and started to baptize pagans. Pudentiana died at the age of 16, possibly a martyr, and is buried next to her father Pudens, in the Priscilla catacombs on the via Salaria. While there is evidence for the life of Pudens, there is no direct evidence for either Pudentiana or Praxedes. It is possible that the early Church's was mistaken for "Saint Pudentiana".

Pudenziana
The Diocese of Pudentiana is a suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church. It was centered on the Roman town of Pudentiana that flourished in the province of Numidia, Roman North Africa, through the Vandal Kingdom and Roman Empire of late antiquity. History At the Conference of Carthage of 411, the Catholic and Donatists of Roman North Africa debated. The records of the Council show that the town was represented by the Donatist Cresconius, who reported that the diocese had no Catholic bishop. The proceedings of the conference tell, however, that Auronio of Macomades, who was a fervent Catholic, answered Cresconius saying that Pudenziana had had a Catholic bishop named Memmiano and that he had succeeded another bishop with the same name, but that both had died. Auronio of Macomades also accused Cresconi of having destroyed four Catholic basilicas. Peregrino participated in the synod assembled in Carthage in 484 by the Vandal King Huneric, after which Peregrino wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Virgin (title)
The title Virgin (, ) is an honorific bestowed on female saints and Beatification, blesseds, primarily used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. Chastity is one of the seven virtues in Christian tradition, listed by Pope Gregory I at the end of the 6th century. In 1 Corinthians, Paul the Apostle states that the virgins and the unmarried women are "concerned about the Lord's affairs", and that their "aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit". In 2 Corinthians 11:2, Paul alludes to the metaphor of the Church as Bride of Christ by addressing the congregation: "I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ". In the theology of the Church Fathers, the prototype of the sacred virgin is Mary, the mother of Jesus, consecrated by the Holy Spirit at the Annunciation. Although not directly stated in the gospels, the perpetual virginity of Mary was widely upheld as a dogma by the Church Fathers from the 4th century. ...

The term may be applied to individuals to whom similar roles are ascribed in other religions. In Christianity Saints often become the patrons of places where they were born or had been active.

In Latin America and the Philippines, Spanish and Portuguese explorers often named a location for the saint on whose feast or commemoration day they first visited the place, with that saint naturally becoming the area's patron ...
