  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN FEBRUARY Saints celebrated on the 6th of February WELCOME! SAINT DOROTHY, VIRGIN AND MARTYR  Saint Aldhelm relates from her acts, that Fabricius, the governor of Caesarea, in Cappadocia, inflicted on her most cruel torments, because she refused to marry, or to adore idols: that she converted two apostate women sent to seduce her: and that being condemned to be beheaded, she converted one Theophilus, by sending him certain fruits and flowers miraculously obtained of her heavenly spouse.  FRUITS AND FLOWERS She seems to have suffered under Diocletian. Her body is kept in the celebrated church which bears her name, beyond the Tiber, in Rome.  SHE IS MENTIONED IN THE ANCIENT MARTYROLOGY She is mentioned on this day in the ancient Martyrology under the name of St Jerome. There was another holy virgin, whom Rufin calls Dorothy, a rich and noble lady of the city of Alexandria, who suffered torments and a voluntary banishment, to preserve her faith and chastity again
