Saint Regina 's Day is celebrated on September 7th
Saint Regina 's Day is celebrated on September 7th . She was a young Christian born in Alise, currently part of France, during the 3rd century, a period of persecution of Christians under the rule of Emperor Diocletian. Regina was raised as a pagan princess, but converted to Christianity and was baptized in secret. When her father discovered her conversion, he tried to force her to renounce her faith, but Regina remained steadfast in her devotion to Jesus Christ. Because of this, she was subjected to various forms of torture. Finally, on September 7, 286 AD, Regina was beheaded, becoming a martyr for her faith. She is often depicted holding a palm, a symbol of Christian martyrdom, and a crown, symbolizing her nobility and devotion to Christ.
