ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN FEBRUARY
Saints celebrated on the 13th of February
EUSTECHIA, VIRGIN
Eustechia was a virgin at the monastery of Saint Prosdocimus in Padua (apud Patavinos), where she blossomed like a rose among thorns. She was, however, constantly plagued by evil spiritual enemies. Through constant penances she conquered all temptations and thus made it to a happy end, which took place in A.D. 1469. (II. 643)
