St. Victoria
Died: 304
There is very little known about St. Victoria. With her sister Anatolia, she refused importunate suitors. Both were imprisoned and starved by their suitors but persisted in refusing marriage. Anatolia was converted to Christianity and converted many in Picenum before being denounced for her faith, for which she was tortured and executed at Thora on Lake Velino in Italy. When Victoria refused to sacrifice to pagan gods, she too was executed, perhaps at Tribulano. The guard was converted by their example and was also martyred. Their whole story is probably a pious myth, though they did actually live. Feast day is December 23rd.

St.victoria, Traumatized and shaken as a citizen, I'm shaken, and traumatized, With only civilized off much humility and certainly. Only with courage as a young civilian, With only kindness off courage Only as a "frail young innocent female" who has civil dignified rights as a Canadian. I've been "Violently Raped" and badly molested, with other "devastating" rare forms off incents, in addition to, other "painful torments" to a "young females life", that are rare and unspoken off, it takes much courage yet to write this.
Only as a frail young "innocent female". I'm shaken, from "shock" to my skeletal central nervous system. Only with Civilized humanity, as a civil citizen, and much kindness, please do send my very off soul, much highest off healing at the very most best. with sincerest off deepest off regards
