Saint Cecilia is the patroness of musicians and Church music because, as she was dying, she sang to God. It is also written that as the musicians played at her wedding she "sang in her heart to the Lord". St. Cecilia was an only child.

She is one of seven women, excluding the Blessed Virgin, commemorated by name in the Canon of the Mass. Read more
