Valeria of Milan

Who they were

At Ravenna, the commemoration of Saint Vitalis: on this day, as tradition says, the famous basilica in that city was dedicated to God under his name. He, together with the holy martyrs Valeria, Gervase, Protase and Ursicinus, has been venerated from time immemorial for the fearless faith steadfastly defended.

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 names her on 28 April among the holy martyrs venerated at Ravenna with Saint Vitalis from time immemorial.
