Saint Cecilia Shining Light Doll

 Meet St. Cecilia!  St. Cecilia (November 22nd) Patron of: hymns, poets, musicians, church music St. Cecilia was married to a pagan man, but God had given her a special angel to protect her!  When Cecilia told her husband about the angel he refused to believe her until he could see it for himself.  Well, God told him that if he was baptized he'd be able to see the angel. Valerian agreed, was baptized and could see the angel!  He became a dedicated Christian, and together with Cecilia and his brother helped the other persecuted Christians.  St. Cecilia is the patron saint of musicians because her favorite way to pray was to "sing to God in her heart".
