My second son is searching for a patron saint name for his confirmation. He is still searching for a saint whom he can identify with. So, while looking through the list of names, I looked up who Saint Lillian is. I didn’t find a patron saint name during my baptism and confirmation when I converted to Catholicism because I felt my name is good enough.
So, who is Saint Lillian?
Saint Lillian was laywoman in an area controlled by the Moors. At first, she hid her Christianity so that her Muslim neighbors would not find out. But stories of fearless Christians being persecuted shamed her into living her faith openly. She was happy to be martyred with her husband.
Her feast day is believed to be on July 27th. I must make a mental note to celebrate mass on July 27th and ask Saint Lillian to give me some guts like her.
You can find a list of saints’ names and their meaning on this site.
