Шаблон:Infobox saint Cyriaca, also known as Dominica, was a Roman widow, and patroness to St. Lawrence, and eventually suffered martyrdom.

Life

Cyriaca was a wealthy Roman widow who sheltered persecuted Christians.[1] St. Lawrence used her home in Rome to give food to the poor. After his death, she brought his remains to a catacomb that had been dug into a hill on land she owned. This is now the site of San Lorenzo fuori le mura.[2]

Cyriaca suffered martyrdom, by being scourged to death for her faith.[3]

St. Cyriaca is commemorated on August 21.
