Who they were
The Roman Martyrology for 9 July names her among the blessed virgins and martyrs put to death at Orange in France during the French Revolution, giving her name in the world as Marie-Anne Marguerite de Rocher. The Acta Apostolicae Sedis record that Pope Pius XI beatified the thirty-two women killed at Orange in July 1794 on 10 May 1925.
The miracles
As a martyr she was raised to the altars without a miracle.
Why that counted as sanctity
She was put to death at Orange during the French Revolution in hatred of the faith.
