| Found in | Floresta Latina, culta en honra, y alabanc̀§a de dos bellisimas plantas, y santissimas virgenes, Lucia y Petronilla, 1623 : title page (Petronilla) New Catholic Encyclopedia on-line, viewed January 9, 2017 (Virgin, probably martyred at Rome at the end of the first century. We learn, however, from extant sixteenth-century notices concerning this sacrophagus that the first word was Aur. (Aureliae), so that the martyr's name was Aurelia Petronilla. The second name comes from Petro or Petronius, and, as the name of the great-grandfather of the Christian consul, Flavius Clemens, was Titus Flavius Petronius, it is very possible that Petronilla was a relative of the Christian Flavii, who were descended from the senatorial family of the Aurelii. The saint subsequently appears as the special patroness of the treaties concluded between the popes and the Frankish emperors. Her feast day is May 31st) <http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11781b.htm> |
