Virgin and Martyr of
Rome, in some traditions the foster sister of St. Agnes,
stoned to death when discovered praying at Agnes’ grave.
Emerentiana was possibly martyred elsewhere. Her cult was
confined to local calendars in 1969.
In the "Martyrologium Hieronymianum" she is mentioned under 16 September, with the statement: In coemeterio maiore. She is represented with stones in her lap, also with a palm or lily.
