Valeria (Kaleria), saint

The Holy Martyrs Kaleria (Valeria), Kyriakia and Mary were residents of Palestinian Caesarea during the times of persecution under Diocletian (284-305). Having received instruction in the Christian faith, they left the pagan way of life, retired to a secluded place and spent their lives in prayer, asking the Lord to end the persecution of Christians and the faith of Christ would shine throughout the world.
