She dedicated herself to vows of chastity and poverty, praying and helping the poor. The legend of her martyrdom states that in 304, a Roman soldier apprehended her as she was on her way to services. When he tore off her veil (a reminder of her vow of chastity), she spit in his face, and he murdered her.
