Marsela wa Roma

Marsela wa Roma (Roma, Italia, 330 hivi - Roma, 410) alikuwa mwanamke Mkristo wa mmojawapo kati ya koo maarufu zaidi za mji huo.

Baada ya kufiwa mumewe alijitosa katika mambo ya dini na kuishi kama kitawa sawa na Paula wa Roma na wanawake wengine kadhaa kwa kuzingatia sala, malipizi na matendo ya huruma.

Jeromu aliandikiana naye^[1] na kutunga kitabu^[2] juu ya maisha yake akimsifu sana, kwamba kwa kukataa utajiri na umaarufu akastahili heshima zaidi kwa ufukara na unyenyekevu wake.^[3].

Roma ilipotekwa na Waostrogothi, Marsela aliteswa akafa kutokana na majeraha aliyopata.

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Wakatoliki na Waorthodoksi kama mtakatifu.

Sikukuu yake ni tarehe 31 Januari^[4].

How much virtue and intellect, how much holiness and purity I found in her I am afraid to say, both lest I may exceed the bounds of men's belief and lest I may increase your sorrow by reminding you of the blessings you have lost. This only will I say, that whatever I had gathered together by long study, and by constant meditation made part of my nature, she tasted, she learned and made her own. Cfr. Rebenich, Stefan. Jerome.
