Saint Philomena, famous for her unwavering faith and martyrdom, remains a mysterious figure surrounded by legends. Originally from Greece, she suffered martyrdom in the 4th century, at the age of 13, for refusing to renounce her Christian faith despite torture. She is often represented with a fleur-de-lis, a symbol of purity, and an anchor, a symbol of hope. Venerated as the patroness of desperate causes, she is invoked to perform miracles. Her devotion has spread across the world, and she is commemorated every year on August 11.
