St. Faith
St. Faith's feast day is October 6th. Her unreliable legend is that she was haled before Dacian, procurator at Agen, France, for her Christianity during Diocletian's persecution of the Christians. She was then tortured to death for her Christianity on a red-hot brazier. Also executed with her was St. Alberta (March 11th); when some of the spectators objected, Dacian had them beheaded.

I'm choosing this for my confirmation name too! :) She sounds like such a brave and moral girl. @vampire lover: Her prayer is:
'Almighty God, who kindled the flame of love in the heart of your servant and our Patron, St. Faith, the teenage girl who lived and died for her belief in the risen Lord - give us the same strength and courage to witness to your Truth - so that we may look forward to a time when there will be an end to evil, suffering and sorrow; and that all people may be united in the ways of justice and of peace.Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.'
God Bless :)
