St. Maura of Constantinople

Saint Maura was a young Catholic virgin of Constantinople, cruelly martyred for the Faith.  Her memory haunted the haters of the Catholic Faith for years after her death.  Even Julian the Apostate, the Roman Emperor who died in 363, was worried about the way in which Saint Maura was venerated.  One of the Ionian Islands, between Greece and Italy, was named after her.  Her name is a beautiful variant of Mary, the name of the Mother of God. Her feast is November 30.
