Best Answer

After Cecilia would not renounce her Christian faith, the Romans first locked her in a steaming sauna for three days. When that failed to kill her, soldiers were ordered to behead her. Three sword strokes failed to do that also. Since three strokes was the maximum allowed by law, she was left to die of her injuries. She died, I believe, 3 days later but not before she had arranged for all her possessions to be given to the Church and distributed to the poor.
