caption: Santa ANGRATIDE (? - 304), virgin and martyr. The noble Portuguese young girl was promised to a nobleman of Gaul; while he was traveling to reach her future husband, accompanied by an entourage of seventeen people all Christian like her, crossed Zaragoza, where the governor Daciano enacts the persecution of Christians ordered by Diocletian and Maximian. Some were immediately beheaded, others tortured; among them the virgin betrothed resisted at every unspeakable torment, always proclaiming their faith; He survived the torture, bringing its visible signs, enough to be named the "living martyr", until he finally died from the severity of his wounds. Commemoration on April 16. colored engraving, Italy 1886
