270 270 ST. THEUSETA martyrdom were vouched and her wor- ship authorised hy Pope Pius IX. Gene- rally when a martyr is found, he or she is allowed to he worshipped in the church where his or her relics are placed, hut the worship of this one is audorised in the whole diocese of Amiens. The time of her martyrdom is uncertain, hut to all appearance it occurred in the great perse- cution of Diocletian. The tomb had two separate divisions ; in one, was the body of Theodosia and the vase of blood placed beside a martyr ; in the other, a child of ten, probably her son, and probably brought up a Christian. Her transla- tion to Amiens was effected with great pomp, about twelve years after the dis- covery of the remains. Le Livre de Ste, Theudosie, receuil complet dee documents , . . edited by Mgr. Gerbet, 1854. St. Theuseta, March 13. This name is the first in a list of martyrs com- memorated on this day. In the oldest manuscript calendars the writing and description are so obscure that it is im- for the faith together at Nice in Bithy- nia, or whether they are to be divided into three bands who received the honour of martyrdom at different times and in different places. The second on the list is Hobisfula, Y., otherwise written Horro jilio or Horis filii ejus, i.e. the son of Theuseta; amongst other names are Ntmpuaboba, Parta, Telia. Theuseta, Horris or Horisfula, Nympho- DORA, Theodora (3), Arabia or Ariaba, and Mark were burnt. Hensohenius thinks Theuseta was a man. It.M. AA.SS. St. Theutberg, Sept. lO, V.

She was niece of St. Geva (2), the wife of St. Everwald or Everwerd. Having no children they adopted Thiadild. One night, when the servants were making beer, they took a boiling pot off the fire, and set it on the floor. Thiadild just then jumped out of her cradle and into the boiling liquid, and her nurse thought she was killed, but Greva and her husband vowed that if Grod would restore her to them, they wonld devote her to His service as a nun. She re- covered. About the same time Freckyo, their swineherd, saw a bright light, night after night, in a certain place, and on examining the ground, many relics of saints were discovered on the spot. Ac- cordingly, Geva and her husband built a nunnery there, of which Thiadild eventually became abbess. The plaoe was called Frockenhorst from the name of the swineherd. Everwerd became t monk, and Geva ended her days under the saintly rule of her niece. AASS. Strunck, Westphalia Sancta. St. Thiathilt or Thiatilt, Thiadild. St. Thibba, Tibba. St. Thibea, Babbba.
