CONCERNING ST. FAUSTINA, VIRGIN MARTYR.
CommentaryFaustina, Virgin Martyr (Saint)
I. B.
There was printed in the year 1518, at Leiden in Holland, by the press of John Severinus, a Breviary of the Church of Utrecht, of which we possess only the summer part. St. Faustina, formerly venerated at Utrecht. But prefixed to it is a Calendar of the entire year, and in it, at February 15, these words are read: "Of Faustina the Virgin. Concerning her as above for Eulalia." On the same day, the manuscript Florarium has: "And of Faustina the Virgin." That she was a Martyr we gather from the fact that the office prescribed for her is the same as for St. Eulalia, Virgin and Martyr. We have not yet found her name elsewhere. It might be questioned whether she was not one of the companions of St. Ursula, with whose relics all the Belgian churches were once enriched.
