From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Palatias and Laurentia (died 302 A.D.) are fourth century martyrs venerated by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. According to tradition, Palatias was an aristocratic Roman woman who was converted to Christianity by her servant, Laurentia. They were executed for being Christians near Ferma, in present-day Italy, during the reign of Diocletian.^[1]
