219/365 Sts. Gracilian and Felicissima

While in jail because of his faith in the early bits of the 4th century, Gracilian cured Felicissima, a young blind girl, restoring her sight. She then converted. But under the rule of Diocletian, ya know, it wasn't such a good time to be a Christian.

They were both beheaded, probably during the great persecutions of the Diocletian era, around about 304.

And that is our Saint of the Day story.
