At the Benedictine Sister of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde, Missouri,
you can find the relics of St. Beatrice, VM (shown above in a wax figure).
The relics were brought from Rome by the spiritual father & founder of the
community in the early 1900's. Her brothers, Sts. Simplicius & Faustinus [!]
had been tortured & beheaded for their faith in the year 304. St. Beatrice
recovered their bodies from the Tiber River, and a few months later was
exposed as a Catholic and was strangled when she refused to sacrifice to the
gods.
