---Backstory---
Eulalia was a Christian girl from Mérida, Spain, who lived during the brutal persecutions of Emperor Diocletian. She was filled with unshakable faith and defiance against tyranny.
Against her parents’ wishes, she left home and openly denounced the Roman authorities for their persecution of Christians. She was arrested and tortured mercilessly, refusing to renounce Christ. According to tradition, she suffered multiple torments, including being burned and scourged. In the end, her soul departed as a dove, signifying her triumph over death.
Her martyrdom inspired devotion across Spain and beyond, and she remains one of the most revered saints in Christian history.
