Dear God,In honor of St. Christina, please pray for all of the people who gave up their life for God. Please pray for all people that St. Christina watches over and lead them through life happily. Also, please pray for any person who is going through a tough time in life. St. Christina had a terrible father who didn’t allow Christina to follow Christ, but she put aside all the horrible things that her father did to her because she had the strongest faith in God. St. Christina was a strong leader to all the people who may not be accepted for their religion, but she showed people that it is always possible, so I pray for all the people like my Saint. Amen.

Tradition says that Christina was a girl of 13 or 14 who died for her faith around 300 A.D."[8]. The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Cleveland, Ohio claims "In the Resurrection Chapel, below the altar, is the reliquary of St. Christine, including her entire skeleton and small vial of her blood. The relics were presented to Archbishop Schrembs in 1928 by Pope Pius XI.
