Saint of the Day – 18 October – St Tryphonia (3rd Century) Widow of Rome. Some sources believe she might have been a Martyr. Also known as – Tryfonia, Tryphona.
The Roman Martyrology reads today: “At Rome, St Tryphonia, at once time the wife of the Caesar Decius. She was buried in a crypt near St Hippolytus.”
Tradition states that she may have been the widow of the Christian enemy, Emperor Trajanus Decius or the widow of his son. It is unclear whether she was Martyred.
