St. Cecilia 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. Cecilia was a Christian and worked to help the poor. She was ordered to be executed for these "crimes." At first they stuffed her into a hot, steamy sauna to suffocate her but three days later she was still alive. Then they tried three times to behead her. It left her mortally wounded but she did not die for three days. She spent her final hours distributing all her possessions to the poor. 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.
