STORY: Saint Cecilia was married but then told her husband she had taken a vow of virginity and had an angel guarding her. She told her husband he would see the angel if he was baptized. He did this and he saw the angel and both him and his brother were converted. She preached and brought many people to the faith. For this she was persecuted and martyred; she was buried by the Pope. About 125 years later her body was exhumed and discovered to be incorrupt (not decayed). She is one of the first Saints to be discovered incorrupt.
