I looked her up and info on her is pretty sketchy. They think she was born in 2 or 3 AD and they know she was a Christian from a wealthy Roman family. She was married to pagan named Valerian who she converted to Christianity. His brother also was converted and the two of them took on the task of burying the dead martyrs who died for Christianity. Finally, the brothers are arrested and sentenced to death for their actions. Meanwhile Cecilia is still converting people until she, too, is finally arrested. She is sentenced to death through suffocation in the Roman baths. After three days in the baths she was found alive so she was sentenced to be beheaded. When they tried to behead her they failed and she lived with wounds on her neck for 3 days before she died.
It is believed St Cecilia was the only daughter of a wealthy family promised in marriage to a pagan named Valerian. Her name means 'blind'. Specifics around her life and death are vague; there is no knowledge of whether she was actually blind, for example. It is believed she was born in the 2nd or 3rd century A.D. She is known as the patron saint of musicians/music and the blind.
