St Sebastian made the Sign of the Cross over the woman and she immediately began to speak and she glorified the Lord. Nicostratus and his wife asked for Baptism. She lived during Emperor Diocletian’s early persecution of the Christian Church.She was greatly devoted to St Peter and was praying by his tomb when she was arrested for her faith.
