SAINT CECILIA
by Catherine, age 7

St. Cecilia is an example of the virtue of piety because she showed true devotion to God. St. Cecilia wore a rough hair shirt under her dresses. She wanted to be Christ's bride. The soldiers tried to burn Cecilia, but she did not burn. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians.
