The beautiful daughter of Gabinius, a priest, and niece of Pope Caius, Susanna refused Emperor's Diocletian request that she marry his son-in-law, Maximian and converted two of her uncles, Claudius and Maximus who were court officers sent by Diocletian to persuade her to marry, to Christianity. Diocletian was so enraged by what she had done that he sent one of his favorites, Julian, to deal with the matter. Julian had Maximus, Claudius and his wife, Praepedigna, and their two sons, burned to death at Cumae, and then had Susanna and her father beheaded. There was a Susanna who lived in Rome, but the details of the story are fictitious. Her feast day is August 11th.

My name is Suzanna, and i wanted to find out more about st Susanna. I am a devout Catholic, I go to church every Sunday and i pray daily. Please don't think i am showing off, pride is a luxury i cannot afford. May God be with you and grant you peace. May Jesus, the Lord of the Eucharist be your light. May the hosts and chalices be worshipped and the Holy Spirit come forth. Again please don't think i am showing off, I'm only 8 and a half!
