S. COLUMBA, V. M.

(DATE UNKNOWN.)

[Anglican Martyrology. There are two other saints of this name,

virgins and martyrs, one at Sens, the other at Cordova. The Columba of

Sens is commemorated on Dec. 31st, and is very famous; she suffered

under Aurelian. The Cordovan saint gained the palm in the Moorish

persecution in 891, and is commemorated on Sept. 17th.]

The great glory of the virgin martyr, Columba of Sens, has eclipsed the

fame of the other two saintly virgin martyrs of this name. Of the S.

Columba venerated in Cornwall on this day, nothing is known, but she is

believed to have formed one of the company of S. Ursula.
