St Justina of Padua Life History
Justina of Padua was a Young woman who took private vows of chastity and devotion to God. Martyr in the persecutions of Diocletian.
Some medieval documents describe her as a disciple of Saint Peter the Apostle, but that’s impossible. She is sometimes depicted in art as a nun but never was, and some artists may have confused her with Saint Scholastica.
