Lentorama 2018: Second String Saints

Day 20 - Emerentiana

Emerentiana was the daughter of St. Agnes's wet nurse, and may have been considered a foster sister to Agnes. A few days after Agnes was martyred, Erementiana went to her tomb to pray and was stoned to death by a crowd.

That is pretty much all that's known about her (and even that comes from the legends of St. Agnes),  so it's probably not surprising that she got demoted. I did find it interesting that she was not a Christian at the time of her death, as she was a catechumen at the time.
