St. Claudia
Claudia was the mother of Linus, who became the second Pope. Tradition has her the daughter of British King Caractacus, who was sent to Rome with his family in chains when he was defeated by Aulus Plautius. Released by Emperor Claudius, one of his daughters took the name Claudia, remained in Rome, was baptized, and is the Claudia mentioned in St. Paul's second letter to Timothy. Another tradition has her the daughter of Cogidubnus, a British ally of Claudius, who took the Emperor's name. Martial mentions a British lady, Claudia Rufina, and says she was married to his friend Aulus Pudens, a Roman senator. Another tradition has this senator the Pudens also mentioned in St. Paul's second letter to Timothy. Her feast day is August 7.

lol im Claudia
i love this saint
Help! I need to do an assignment on Saint Claudia but i don't know what she stands for or how she became a saint! HELP!!
Hey my name is CLAUDIA too!!! This is soooo cool!!! I can't believe how many CLAUDIAS there are
so many Claudias!!!!
'Claudia' is, [or may be] a pre ordained [thus prophetic] name, set in particular seemingly to link a future 'united kingdom' [Albion] once pagan, ['lame'] [part Druidic, a cult centred in Wales] - with St. Paul, via Linus, the offspring of Claudia [the after effect of that relationship - enabling a regal continuem of St Paul's mission - into the future, to embrace one group of gentiles in particular seemingly] Kingly prisoners from that land [including a daughter, the girl set to be named 'Claudia'] set free - in Rome. Notably after '7 years' by Emperor Claudius. Claudia subsequent to Baptism in Rome, given a 7th day - as a feast day, a 'Twinning' of 7's evident thus, one of the prime hallmarks of Holy Scripture, Christianity adopted by the Britains, ...the 'Lame' healed. This is my understanding of Scripture, and upon reviewing my own mother's name Gladys also, old welsh in origin... Latin, 'Claudia'. A New Kingdom name, latterly. Thus a name to be especially proud of. I hope this synopsis goes some way to releasing all modern day Claudia's from 'old [dictionary] testimony'. Static, obsolete testimony.
