Saint Peregrina of Rome

Peregrina, also known as Saint Peregrina of Rome, was an early Christian martyr and saint, born in 290 or 299 in Lusitania and died in 304 or 313 in Rome. Some sources associate her with Saint Agnes, possibly as her servant. At the age of fourteen, she was beaten to death in Rome during the persecution of Christians under Emperor Diocletian. In the Carniola region, she was venerated in the 17th and 18th centuries as a patron saint against the Turks. Her relics were transported from the catacombs to Ljubljana and eventually ended up in Tunjice.
