"It is the saints who change the world for the better, they transform it in a lasting way, injecting in it energies that only love inspired by the Gospel can arouse. The saints are the great benefactors of humanity!" Pope Benedict XVI

Day 294 -- Saint Eurosia
Saint Eurosia was born to nobility and was promised in an arranged marriage to a Moor. Not wanting to get married, she hid in a cave, but the smoke from her fire gave her location away. She was dragged from the cave by her hair and martyred in the year 714. She was canonized by Pope Leo XIII in 1902. She is the patroness against bad weather and of Diocese of Jaca, Spain.
