At Cyrene in Libya, Saint Cyrilla, martyr, who, as it is told, in the persecution of the emperor Diocletian held burning coals together with incense placed upon her hand for a long while, lest by shaking off the embers she should seem to have offered the incense; then, most savagely torn, adorned with her own blood, she passed to her Spouse.
