Saint Savina (Italian: Santa Savina) (d. 311) was a Milanese martyr under Diocletian. Her feast day is 30 January. She gave aid to Christian prisoners and also ensured that they received decent burials after they were executed. For this reason she was martryed. Tradition states that she died while praying at the tomb of Saints Nabor and Felix.
She should not be confused with Sabina.
