St Reparata History
St Reparata was baptized very young. She was arrested and tortured for her faith at age 11 during the persecution of Roman Emperor Trajanus Decius.
Reparata was thrown into a furnace to die, she sat for a while in the flames, then emerged unharmed.
Rather than see this as divine intervention, the authorities simply offered her another chance to apostatize; when she refused, she was beheaded.
Later on after her death, her relics were translated to the Nice Cathedral in 1690 AD
