Fausta of Sirmium was a Christian saint living during the 3rd century. She is primarily recognized for her role as the mother of Saint Anastasia of Sirmium, having raised her daughter with significant virtue. Because of her exemplary maternal character and her connection to a well-known martyr, she is honored within both the Catholic and Orthodox traditions.
Legacy and veneration
Fausta is commemorated on December 19. Her reputation as a model mother is preserved through her daughter's sanctity. In Rome, she is one of the 140 saints depicted on the colonnade surrounding Saint Peter's Square, where her image serves as a permanent testament to her faith.
