Saint Christina 's Day is celebrated on July 24
Saint Christina 's Day is celebrated on July 24 , in honor of Saint Christina of Bolsena, a 3rd century Christian martyr. She is venerated as one of the most important saints in Italy and is considered the patron saint of the city of Bolsena and the region of Viterbo. Santa Cristina was a young Christian who refused to renounce her faith, despite persecution and torture during the reign of Emperor Diocletian. She was martyred in Bolsena, Italy, where her devotion is especially strong. On this date, many Catholic churches hold special celebrations in his honor, including masses, processions and local festivals. The faithful also take the opportunity to pray for his intercession and seek inspiration from his courage and devotion to the Christian faith.
