Just let us know in "special instructions"Saint Petronilla (or Ptronille) is venerated as a virgin martyr by the Catholic Church. Petronilla is traditionally identified as the daughter of Saint Peter, though this may stem simply because of the similarity of names. It is believed she may have been a convert of the saint's (and thus a "spiritual daughter"), or a follower or servant. It is said that Saint Peter cured her of palsy. Roman inscriptions, however, identify her simply as a martyr. She may have been related to Saint Domitilla. Stories associated with her include those that relate that she was so beautiful that Saint Peter had locked her up in a tower to keep her from eligible men; that a pagan king named Flaccus, wishing to marry her, led Petronilla to go on a hunger strike, from which she died in Rome.
