Fusca of Ravenna

Saint Fusca of Ravenna is a child martyr killed ca. 250 AD in Ravenna, Italy under the persecutions of Decius. Her nurse, Marura, was martyred with her. She is venerated by the Roman Catholic Church.[1]

The presence of a column painting of the saint at the Church of the Nativity, in Bethlehem has provoked scholarly interest.[2]
