Thea
virgin and martyr at Caesarea in Palestine
Feast: 25 July (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
At Caesarea in Palestine, Saints Valentina, Thea and Paul, martyrs in the persecution of the emperor Maximian, under the governor Firmilian. The virgin Valentina, who had kicked over an altar dedicated to the pagan idols, after various cruel tortures ran to meet the Bridegroom, thrown into the fire together with the virgin Thea; Paul, for his part, condemned to death, after obtaining a short time for prayer and imploring God with his whole heart for the salvation of all, received the crown of martyrdom by beheading.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: she has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 25 July as a virgin at Caesarea in Palestine who was thrown into the fire together with the virgin Valentina.
