[edit] The other
192.147.58.6 17:36, 20 November 2006 (UTC)Someone should verify the sentence at the end about fyiyyiCecilia is weird let me tell you bgyfghvhsaFGHJelse. Not sure of Cecilia was removed, however.it took awile to kill her.
Did this "other" Saint Cecilia really exist? Should we delete her? So far it's the Britannica's word against everyone else's, maybe we've run into one of their mistakes and can carve another little notch on Wiki's scoreboard. Here's my recent post on Wikipedia's Humanities Reference Desk and the answers I got.
- Hi, I quote the article on Saint Cecilia:<<Another St Cecilia, who suffered in Africa in the persecution of Diocletian, is commemorated on February 11. >>I have never heard of her. Can anyone elaborate on this *other* saint. I'm planning a party for the 11th February and I could easily turn this fascinating discovery into a theme, but I will need more information. Thanks so much, Cecilia

- This mention is taken directly from the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica.[15] I have done a quick google, and can't immediately find any other mentions of an "other" Cecilia - the Catholic Encyclopedia mentions a theory that the "usual" Saint Cecilia was martyred during the persecution of Diocletian[16] which suggests they may be the same person, but then the different feast days suggest they are not. Good luck with finding anything out, and I hope the party's good. AJR | Talk 00:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

- FWIW, the Oxford dictionary of Saints (D.H.Farmer, Clarendon Press, 1978) only lists one St. Cecilia. Grutness...wha? 01:32, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

- Also, FWIW, The Book of Saints (Victor Hoagland, C.P., The Regina Press, 1986) only lists the one St. Cecilla as well. Her day is Nov. 22 according to this. Dismas|(talk) 14:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I Need More Answers!
I am doing a research paper on St. Cecilia and evrywhere i looked i could not find the date she became a saint! I checked everywhere and finally i thought, "Well, Wikipedia's sure to have it!". Yet, you don't have any information hardly! It doesn't help me AT ALL for my project.
- She would not have been canonized at a certain date, as with later saints. --Polylerus 23:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
she is a very good saint to do for your confirmation!
she has lots of stories to give to you for your papers you will have to right in the near future! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.238.171 (talk) 22:37, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Blind?
It is also said that St. Cecilia was the patron saint of the blind as well as music and whatnot. (see http://www.nndb.com/event/636/000055471/.) Is there enough evidence to conclude that this is, in fact, true...? Twitterpated. (talk) 02:23, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh, and when is her canonization date?! Twitterpated. (talk) 02:24, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
