Sts Natalie and Aurelius

Natalie and Aurelius were husband and wife. Both of them became Christians later in their lives, as they were not born to Christian parents. During the time that they lived, the Moors ruled their country and they did not believe in Jesus. People were not allowed to worship God and if they did they were killed. St. Natalie and St. Aurelius were very brave, because even though it was against the law to worship God, they did! They didn’t worship in secret they were not afraid to show everyone that they followed Jesus. They were killed because of this strong faith and their friend, a monk from Jerusalem, was killed with them. Like St. John the Baptist they were beheaded and became martyrs for the faith.
