The Life of St. Cecilia: Patroness of Musicians

November 22 is the festival of St. Cecilia, one of the most respected martyrs in the early Roman era, whose name appeared in Roman masses.

Holy Cecilia was born into a wealthy Roman family who lived in the 3rd century of the Roman Empire. She swears to Christ about her virgin, but her parents married her anyway. Then she turned her husband into Christian faith, then he respected her virgin turn and changed his brothers

How she changed her husband's story is very eye-catching. On her wedding night, she told her to know her oath and told him that the angel had kept her purity. Her husband replied that he would believe her and respect her vows if he could meet her angel. Cecilia instructed him to be baptized before he could see her angel

Her husband and his brother underwrote the work of unlawfully burying Christian martyrs. And they got married. The response of St. Cecilia was to bury her husband and convert hundreds of people through her Christian testimony and the power of faith. This, and because she refused to worship the false god, she was arrested.

According to the legend, St. Cecilia did not easily get married. They first tried to smother her, but this did not affect her. Then they tried to plunder her, but they failed again despite hitting the neck three times. As I continued sermoning, she shed blood for three days and died, and my fellow Christian gathered blood as a relic in sponge and napkin.

The story of St. Cecilia is the courage to persecution and conflict, evangelism, and love for God.

"After listening to the wedding music, Cecilia sang Jesus in her heart, a song of love to her real spouse.

St. Cecilia usually uses harp and other tools to draw art, statues, beads, medals. The gift of St. Cecilia cites the Holy Cecilia's prayers and reminds us that they bring their talent to God to those musicians.

Acta St. Cecilia told her how to change her husband graffiti, obligatory brother Rubius and Roman official Maximus, and her death laid the foundation of her saint. As Acta reported, how she became a music and a musician's maid can be traced back to the misunderstanding of her Cecilia's prayer explanation during the wedding. Acta said: "At the ceremony, as the instrument rotates around her, she hopes she will let her keep her body pure like a spirit." When she changed graffiti to Christianity, her prayers were answered.

From the 14th century to the 15th century, Cecilia has been known for playing the organ. Obviously, when a musician plays with her wedding ceremony, she represents the idea of ​​singing alone in the heart of God. When the Conservatory was founded in Rome (1584), she became a college hostess, so her worship as church music hostess became more common. Organs are now her most common attribute. In the latter part of the 16th century, her honor began to record numerous festivals and music festivals in Northern Europe. That earliest period was Normandy. A century later, this fashion crossed the way to the UK, and the 1683 celebration gathered three celebrations. They were all music of Henry Purcell.

Cecilia's story as a music hostess has many twists and turns. The most important thing is that we need ideals expressed by myths, help us achieve high achievements and help us inspire. The Italian said: Senonèveo, èbentrovato. "Otherwise, it is still a good story."

Cecilia was buried in St. Kalst 's underground cemetery near Rome. In the early nineteenth century, Pope Paschal found her cheap relic in the St. Praetextatus' s cemetery and transferred them to Rome with the church of Trastevere who has now taken her name. She became a patron saint of musicians and music; in art, she is often used as an organ
