'''Saint Petronilla''' (d. end of 1st century or possibly 3rd century), also known as Aurelia Petronilla, was an early Christian [[Saints|saint]] venerated as a virgin and possibly a martyr in [[Rome]], [[Italy]]. Traditionally considered the daughter of St. Peter, modern scholarship suggests she was likely a convert or “spiritual daughter,” possibly linked to the Aurelii family through the Christian Flavii. Her tomb inscriptions and a 4th-century painting in the Catacomb of Domitilla confirm her veneration as a martyr, though legends claim she died naturally after a hunger strike to avoid marriage to a pagan king, Flaccus. Her relics, translated to [[St. Peter’s Basilica]] in 757, are housed in a dedicated chapel. Canonized through pre-Congregation processes, her feast day is [[May 31]].<ref name="CatholicEncyclopedia">{{cite web |title=St. Petronilla |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11781b.htm |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=New Advent |access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref><ref name="Wikipedia">{{cite web |title=Petronilla |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petronilla |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref>
