  Saint Agrippina (d. 262 AD) was venerated as a virgin martyr in the Catholic Church. Nothing is known of her true identity, and there is no evidence of any worship of an early date.
• Her legend states that she was a blonde princess born of a noble Roman family, and that she was martyred either during the reign of Valerian or of Diocletian. She was either beheaded or scourged.
• Her body was said to have been taken to Mineo, Sicily, by three devout Christian women named Bassa, Paula, and Agathonice (Agatonica). Her tomb became a popular pilgrimage destination, and she was invoked as a patron saint against evil spirits, leprosy, thunderstorms, bacterial diseases, and bacterial infections.
• Agrippina was venerated in Greece, as it was claimed that her relics were translated from Sicily to Constantinople.
• No longer on the Roman Catholic Calendar, her feast day is celebrated in Eastern Orthodoxy on June 23.
