Cecilia was a noble and virtuous Christian woman, she converted on her wedding day, her husband Valeriano and her brother-in-law Triburzio, who, baptized by the bishop Urbano, soon found martyrdom at the hands of the prefect Almachio.
After the death of the two young people, he brought Cecilia before him who refused to sacrifice to the idols confessing her faith.
After having tried in vain to kill her through a bath of boiling water, the prefect handed her over to the executioner to be beheaded, but the three blows inflicted with the axe did not manage to detach her head.
