About St. Pudentiana
1st or 2nd century, traditional – c. 160 (traditional) · Feast May 19 · Virgin / Traditional Martyr
Traditional 2nd-century Roman virgin, daughter of Senator St. Pudens (mentioned in 2 Tim 4:21) and sister of St. Praxedes. Basilica of Santa Pudenziana in Rome bears her name. It must be noted, however, that her cult was suppressed in 1969 and she was removed from the General Roman Calendar. Modern scholarship suggests "Pudentiana" may have been an adjective ("of Pudens") for the family church misread as a personal name. Veneration is now confined to her Roman basilica. Traditional feast May 19.
St. Pudentiana is the patron saint of Philippines (declared by Spanish 1571 and Mary Later Replaced As Principal Patroness 1942).
