St. Susanna
| Feast day | August 3 |
| Death | 1963 |
The beautiful daughter of Gabinius, a priest, and niece of Pope Caius, St. Susanna refused Emperor’s Diocletian request that she marry his son-in-law, Maximian. She converted two of her uncles, Claudius and Maximus, to Christianity. They were court officers sent by Diocletian to persuade her to marry. Diocletian was enraged by her actions. He sent one of his favorites, Julian, to deal with the matter. Julian executed Maximus, Claudius, his wife Praepedigna, and their two sons by burning them to death at Cumae. Then, he beheaded Susanna and her father. There was a Susanna who lived in Rome, but the details of the story are fictitious. Her feast day is August 11th.
