(flourished 4th century, Rome; feast day January 21) Legendary Christian martyr, the patron saint of girls.

The rejected suitors informed Roman officials that she was a Christian, and she was punished by being exposed in a brothel. There she was left miraculously unharmed; the only man who attempted to violate her was struck blind, and she healed him with prayer.

The tradition of Christmas Cake was brought to Japan by the Portuguese. It is usually eaten on Christmas Eve. The Japanese also use it as an unflattering analogy of single women. After December 25, the cake is not wanted and after the age of 25, single women aren't wanted.
