Panacea de' Muzzi

Who they were

The Roman Martyrology remembers her at Quarona near Novara as a virgin and martyr who, at the age of fifteen, was killed while praying in church by her stepmother, at whose hands she had always suffered ill-treatment.

She was beatified on 5 September 1867 by Pope Pius IX.

The miracles

As a martyr she was raised to the altars without a miracle.
