My favorite saint is St. Cecilia because she is the patron saint of music. I love music and feel that I can relate to her the most out of all the saints. St. Cecilia was married to a man named Valerian. Cecilia prayed that she stayed pure throughout her life. After marrying her husband, she disclosed to him that she had a secret to share to him but, he was to do one thing before she told him the secret- he was to become Catholic like her. Upon returning from his baptism, he found his wife's secret revealed in a vision- an angel guarding her, presenting the both of them with flower crown, much like Jesus' crown of thorns. The angel disappeared and Valerian's brother was soon baptized, too. Cecilia was martyred and lived for three days after her deathly beating. It is said that: "she heard heavenly music in her heart when she was married."
