1月23日聖女愛美蘭霞（童貞殉道）
根據聖教史家的記述，聖女愛美蘭霞和聖女依搦斯是同乳母姊妹。她是一位望教者，尚未領洗入教。聖女依搦斯死後第三日，愛美蘭霞在她墳上祈禱，爲仇教者看見，遂以信仰基督的罪名被捕，遭亂石砸死。她藉着血洗，投入聖教的懷抱，進入永福的天堂，時在304年。

St Emerentiana, Virgin and Martyr

A foster sister of St Agnes, the virgin Emerentiana, while still a catechumen, shed tears on the tomb of her friend who had just been martyred. Some Pagans mocked at her grief. She, full of the divine virtue of which Jesus is the source (Collect), reproached the idolaters with their cruelty towards Agnes, and they in their fury stoned her on that very tomb. Baptized in her own blood, she went to join for evermore her Spouse and her sister (304).
