The Roman Martyrology states:  "At Caesarea, in Palestine, Saint Fortunata, virgin and martyr, during the persecution of Diocletian. After having been subjected to the rack, to fire, to the teeth of beasts and other torments, she gave up her soul to God. Her body was afterwards conveyed to Naples, in Campania." PRAYER: Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Fortunata may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. ➡️ More information about Saint Fortunata
