Who they were
At Córdoba in Andalusia in Spain, Saint Lucretia, virgin and martyr, who, born of a Moorish family, advanced secretly in the faith of Christ and, arrested in a house together with Saint Eulogius, was beheaded four days after his martyrdom, thus passing into eternal glory.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: she has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 15 March as a virgin and martyr of Moorish family beheaded at Córdoba four days after Saint Eulogius.
