St. Augusta (5th century) was a virgin martyr. Augusta was the daughter of Matrucus, pagan chief of the Alemanni. Augusta became a Christian in secret. Her father had sent spies to watch over her, and one day, when he discovered her praying, he imprisoned her, and then knocked out all of her teeth. Her enraged father then tortured and decapitated her with his sword.

St. Augusta help us be bold like you to search for God in our faith even in times of opposition.
