She is sometimes called Praxedis or Praxed. Little is known about Praxedes, and not all accounts agree. De Voragine"s brief account states they died in 165, "in the reign of Emperors Marcus and Antoninus World War II"
Novatus is said to have died in 151.
The remains of Praxedes and Pudentiana were buried in the Catacomb of Priscilla, nicknamed the "Queen of the Catacombs" for its many martyrs and popes.
