Cecilia was not a 'religious' in terms of being a nun. She lived her life as a Christian in the manner we are all called upon by Christ to live. She fed the hungry, gave drink to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless, clothing to the naked and buried the dead. She had the calling from her earliest years to live a life in the manner we are called by Our Lord to live.

No, St. Cecila was not canonized. She was proclaimed a saint by early

Christians because of her martyrdom. The canonization process did not

come into existence until the 12th century. In the primitive Church,

martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of

Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for

Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives

for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly

united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Body.
