Very little is known about Saint Olivia.  She is mentioned in many sources, but usually with only one sentence.

She lived in Brescia, Italy during the second century and was martyred for her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ while Hadrian was emperor.

Each year on her memorial, she is announced as a “holy Virgin.”

The name “Olivia” comes from the Latin word for “olive.”

We commemorate this Holy Virgin on March 5.

Holy Virgin of the Lord, Olivia, pray that after we are gone from this life that the memory of our purity remains.  Amen.
