Tags: Saint.
Saint Valeria of Milan (d. 1st or 2nd century) or Saint Valérie according to Christian tradition was the wife of Vitalis of Milan and the mother of Saint Gervase and Saint Protase although other traditions make her a virgin martyr rather than a wife and mother. She was martyred for burying Christian martyrs and then refusing to sacrifice to the Roman gods. It is said she was from a noble family and at an early age was baptised.
