Saints Crisante and Daria

Chrisante and Daria, who lived in the third century, died from Christian martyrs and were buried at the catacomb of Trasone on the Via Salaria in Rome.

According to tradition, Crisante's father was the noble Alexandrian Polemio who tried to deny his son the Christian religion, to return to paganism, sending him the vestal Daria, who was a beautiful woman believed capable of conquering him, but she also converted to Christianity and decided to marry him to live a chaste union.

The spouses managed to convert numerous Roman citizens, until their martyrdom, which occurred during the empire of Numeriano, which entailed their burial alive, as the blood of a vestal could not be shed, otherwise it would have invariably attracted the wrath of the of.

What remained of their bodies, was recovered with faith by their followers was jealously guarded as a relic in the catacombs where their brothers of religious faith were located.
