“Arise, soldiers of Christ, throw away the works of darkness and put on the armor of light”
Today, we’ll hear the story of Saint Cecilia, one of the earliest and most famous Roman martyrs. In our episode today, we’ll hear not only her story but the story of her courageous and faithful husband Valerian. Together, they brought many souls to Christ and ultimately gave their lives as martyrs. Because Saint Cecilia is the patroness of music, we have two brand new original pieces written for this episode! Tune in today to hear the beautiful music and story of Saint Cecilia!
Parental Guidance: True to the story of Saint Cecilia, both she and her husband Valerian were martyred for their faith. For sensitive listeners, parents may want to preview episode before listening with little ones.
Original songs written by Patrick O’Connell and performed by Stacey Sumereau
