Saint Afra (died 304), allegedly originally a
courtesan in
Augsburg, sheltered the
bishop who had converted her. The authorities of the
Diocletian persecution condemned her to burn alive, then burnt her mother
Saint Hilaria[?] and her maids Ligna, Eunonia and Eutropia as they interred her in a vault.
The feast of Saint Afra occurs on 5 August.
