Saint Crispina was born in Algeria. She belonged to a distinguished family and was a wealthy matron with children. She is a known virgin martyr of Africa.
Under the Diocletian persecution, she was ordered to sacrifice to the gods. When she refused, she was threatened with death. But even then, she did not follow the order. They shaved her head and exposed her to the public to be mocked and ridiculed. However, she remained strong in her faith. In the end, she was condemned to death. She thanked God for the verdict and offered her head willingly for execution. She died on December 5, year 304.
