I have no idea how patron saints work, but I like to imagine that Miguel's is Saint Cecilia.

Of course I forgot about the feast day of my patron saint.

It's no longer November 22, but my love for St. Cecilia is year round.

(Anton Josef Dräger, 1823)

The feast day of St. Cecilia is the perfect time to resume piano practice after several months away (due to everything with the move). I even hung a picture of her by my piano yesterday 🎹

SAINT OF THE DAY (November 22)

St. Cecilia's family was one of the principal families of Rome. According to the cultural custom of the time, Cecilia's family betrothed her to a pagan nobleman named Valerian despite her consecration to God.

On their wedding night, Cecilia told Valerian that she had sworn to remain a virgin before God and that an angel guarded her body, protecting her virginity from violation.

She told Valerian that he would be able to see this angel if he went to the third milestone along the Via Appia and was baptized by Pope Urban I.

Valerian went to the milestone as Cecilia had instructed, and there he was baptized. She later converted his brother as well.

During that era, it was forbidden for anyone to bury the bodies of Christians, so newly-baptized Valerian and his brother dedicated themselves to burying the bodies of all the Christians they found.

For this, they were arrested and brought before a judge who ordered them to worship the Roman god Jupiter.

They were martyred when they refused to deny their Christian faith. The police then came for Cecilia and strongly advised her to renounce her faith.

In reply, she told them that she would prefer to die than to denounce the true faith.

According to legend, upon hearing her response, they brought her to a large oven with the intention of suffocating her with the hot and toxic gasses it emitted.

However, instead of choking, Cecilia began to sing. Infuriated, her persecutors attempted to behead her, but after three strokes of the sword, Cecilia was still alive and her head was not severed.

The soldiers then left her covered in blood in her own home, where she remained for three days before she died.

St. Cecilia was buried in the Catacomb of Callixtus and later transferred to the Church of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere.

The church Santa Cecilia in Trastevere was built on the site of the house where she lived.

In 1599, her body was found still incorrupt, seeming to be asleep.

St. Cecilia is known for "singing in her heart to the Lord" upon her wedding day, despite her consecration to God.

She is the patron saint of musicians and poets because of this sentiment and her alleged singing within the oven during her martyrdom.

Her fortitude may inspire the modern Catholic in the trials of life and inspire one to find God within music.

Gointothevvater here! Saw those tags, so I'm popping in here to reply! Ceelie never lost her accent, though it's become a little less noticeable because she was in America for so long, and yep, it's raspy at present because of the smoking! As for a voiceclaim, I use Florence Pugh! She's got the Oxford accent and everything! 😊

@gointothevvater oh!! i looked her up and i can totally see St. Cecilia speaking like that! also having that as a reference it's easier to imagine it getting raspier as she got older. i'm sure a ton of characters find her voice attractive because of that! thank you for this bit of trivia <3
