Did Saint Rose of Lima have siblings?

Answer 1

Biographies indicate that Teresa had an older brother. When she was but 5 years old she convinced her brother that they should run away from home and seek martyrdom from the Moors. An uncle caught them on the edge of town and returned the children to their parents.

Answer 2

A:

According to legend, St. Catherine of Alexandria was was the beautiful daughter of the pagan King Costus and Queen Sabinella, who governed Alexandria late in the third century. An extremely learned young girl, she vowed to remain a virgin all her life. Catherine is said to have protested the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Maxentius, whose wife she converted, as well as and several soldiers and hundreds of other pagans. Livid with rage, Maxentius ordered the young Catherine to be executed. Unfortunately, we can not say whether Catherine of Alexandria actually existed.

She was never mentioned before the ninth century, and some assiduous research has failed to identify Catherine with any historical person. Donald Attwater calls the story of St. Catherine the most preposterous legend of its kind, citing the lack of any positive evidence that she ever existed outside the mind of some Greek writer who first composed what he intended to be simply an edifying romance. Even her name, which comes from the Greek katharos, ('pure'), is suspiciously apt for a virgin martyr, raising the possibility that her legend originated as an allegory.
