We know little factual information about Philomena and most of what we do know is from personal revelation. Supposedly, Philomena was from a Greek colony but was taken to Rome by her parents when she was about 13 years of age. The Roman Emperor Diocletian wanted to marry her but she refused, saying she was a virgin for Our Lord only. Diocletian had her martyred for her decision.
