Who was Saint Marcellina?
Saint Marcellina was born in Trier, Gaul around the year 330 as a member of a Catholic family. She was the only sister of Saint Ambrose of Milan, older sister of two brothers, and daughter to a man who resided as Praetorian prefecture of Gaul. Marcellina received the veil of consecrated virginity to live a life of perpetual virginity and to devote herself to the practice of prayer and asceticism.
After living life as part of a pious family, Saint Marcellina would die roughly around 397. Honored as a saint, her body would be buried in the crypt under the altar of the Ambrosian Basilica.
