Victrix

Who they were

In North Africa, commemoration of the holy martyrs of the Vandal persecution, who, under the Arian king Huneric, were subjected to terrible and countless torments for having defended the Catholic faith; to their company belong the martyrs Dionysia and Majoricus, her son, who, still a child, frightened by the tortures but comforted by his mother's look and words, became even braver than the others and gave up his soul amid the torments. Among those named is Saint Victrix.

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 6 December among those named in the company of the martyrs of the Vandal persecution under Huneric.
