St. Philomena’s name in Latin is Filialuminis which means daughter of light.
Saint Philomena was the daughter of a king in Greece who, with his wife, had converted to Christianity. At the age of about 13, she took a vow of consecrated virginity. When the Emperor Diocletian threatened to make war on her father, her father went with his family to Rome to ask for peace. The Emperor “fell in love” with the young Philomena and, when she refused to be his wife, subjected her to a series of torments: scourging, from whose effects two angels cured her; drowning with an anchor attached to her (two angels cut the rope and raised her to the river bank); being shot with arrows, (on the first occasion her wounds were healed; on the second, the arrows turned aside; and on the third, they returned and killed six of the archers, after which, several of the others became Christians). Finally, the Emperor had her decapitated. The story goes that the decapitation occurred on a Friday at three in the afternoon, as with the death of Jesus. The two anchors, three arrows, the palm, and the ivy leaf on the tiles found in the tomb were interpreted as symbols of her martyrdom
Philomena is the patron saint of infants, babies, and youth. The young virgin who was martyred at age 13, willingly traded her earthly life for heavenly salvation and continues her work today promoting the virtues of purity and sanctity among the world’s youth and bringing the faithful closer to our Blessed Mother and Jesus Christ.

Message Stella Maris Studio
I am a Catholic teenage artist, an anime/manga enthusiast artist. I am an American Manga artist and creator, a self-taught “mangaka” (known in the western world as “anime” comics creator). My artwork is styled as Japanese Manga comics, which almost always have large eyes, small mouths, but there are many variations. Each manga artist’s technique is distinct and unique, as you can see from my renderings of Catholic Saints, Marian apparitions, etc.
I am also a self-taught pianist and composer, a story writer, and a pet lover with three dogs.
Thank you for visiting my store! God bless you!
