In our time, when day by day mankind is being drawn closer together, and the ties between different peoples are becoming stronger, the Church examines more closely her relationship to non-Christian religions.

NOVEMBER 22 St. Cecilia, Virgin and Martyr
1. Cecilia is one of the most highly venerated virgin-martyrs of the Church; her name occurs in the Canon of the Mass. There are no reliable records regarding either her person or her martyrdom. She may have gained her crown in the persecution of Alexander Severus (222-235), or in that of Valerian (258) or in that of Diocletian (304).
