Saint Philomena was a teenager when she was martyred for her Christian faith in Fourth-Century Greece. It was not until 1802 that her remains were discovered and placed in a reliquary. Philomena’s relics are said to bring deep and profound spiritual joy to those who view them, and she has become known as a “new light of the Church.” Saint Philomena is also recognized as the Patroness of the newly born, which is not surprising since expectant mothers and families often experience great spiritual and emotional exhilaration upon bringing new life into the world!
