(See Victoria (2)0 St. Honorata (5), of Pavia, April 17; translation, Jan. 11. 5th century. St. Epiphanius, bishop of Pavia from 4G7 to 495, had four sisters, Spegiosa, LuHiNosA, LiBERATA, and Honorata, the youngest, whose highest praise is that she was the worthy sister of so great a man. In 469 he travelled to Home to bring about a reconciliation between the Emperor Anthemius and his son-in-law, Hicimer. On his return he consecrated Honorata, and confided her to the care of Luminosa (who seems to be not his sister, but another woman of the same name), a woman of amazing' sanctity, whose hereditary honours were great, but were eclipsed by her holy life and great wisdom. Luminosa and Honorata lived in the monastery of St. Vincent, outside the Palatine Gate. When, in 476, Odoacer, king of the Goths, stormed the city, churches were set on fire, and the whole city shone like one funeral pile. Many members of noble families were massacred or carried captive. Among them were Luminosa and Honorata ; but ere the light of that disastrous day declined to evening they were ransomed by Epiphanius. Many others of the citizens he delivered by his entreaties before they felt the chains of their hard fortune. Especially did he intercede for mothers of families, whose detention seemed to be of peculiar inhumanity. Soon after this Luminosa died, but Honorata survived her many years. On other occasions Epiphanius made peace between belligerent kings, and ransomed thousands of captives. Honorata was full of holy dispositions and devoted to all good works, and had the power which exceeding holiness gives. She was first buried in the Church of St. Vincent, and was afterwards translated to the Church of St. Mary of the Histories. Miraculous circumstances attended the translation. The chief authority is the contem- porary Life of Epiphanius by St. Enno- dius. This and her Life by Ferrarias are given in the AA.SS. and other collections. St. Honoria, Anor.
