Saint Glyceria was born in 177, under the rule of Caracalla. Her family was affluent and her father was a respected senator. She grew up in Trajanopolis where she converted to Christianity. She was forced to pay tribute to a stone statue of Jupiter but it was destroyed while she stood before it. She was imprisoned for this, then sentenced to be torn apart by wild animals. She, however, was not torn apart. Before the animals could render her any harm, she died a virgin martyr in Heraclea. Her relics reputedly poured fourth the substance known as the Oil of the Saints, and her name means "sweetness".
She is honored on May 13, (Easter Orthodox Liturgics). She is primarily recognized as an Eastern Christian Saint, and has fallen out of popularity as a Catholic Saint.
