Biography

Savina of Milan (Italian: Savina di Milano; died 311) was a Milanese Christian martyr who was killed during the Diocletianic Persecution. She is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic Church, being commemorated on 30 January. She gave aid to Christian prisoners and also ensured that they received proper burials after their executions, and for this reason she was martyred. Holy tradition states that she died while praying at the tomb of Saints Nabor and Felix. There is a church and town square in Victoria, Gozo named after her. /* start https://en.wikipedia.org/ */ @media screen{html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .sister-inline-image img[src*="Wiktionary-logo-en-v2.svg"]{filter:invert(1)brightness(55%)contrast(250%)hue-rotate(180deg)}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .sister-inline-image img[src*="Wiktionary-logo-en-v2.svg"]{filter:invert(1)brightness(55%)contrast(250%)hue-rotate(180deg)}} /* end https://en.wikipedia.org/ */ Media related to Saint Savina at Wikimedia Commons
