The remains of Vibiana were rediscovered on December 9, 1853 in ancient catacombs near the Appian Way. A marble tablet adorned her tomb upon which was inscribed "to the soul of the innocent and pure Vibiana", above a laurel wreath. A wreath was a symbol of martyrdom among ancient Christians.[1]

Since 2002, the relics of Vibiana have been housed in the mausoleum of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. The former Cathedral of Saint Vibiana in Los Angeles, California was dedicated to her.

gollark: At least with the command line you have autocomplete, autocorrect, and more importantly *an actual list of available commands*.
gollark: They aren't intuitive, really. Voice makes you EXPECT you can talk to it in a normal human-ish way, except voice assistants are really limited and will trip over on anything complex.
gollark: I don't think you could unambiguously detect that with current technology.
gollark: Yes, google assistant bad because spying and voice commands unintuitive.
gollark: How did you implement useful audio processing in *regexes*?!
