They tried to distract him by introducing him to her who was a Vestal Virgin. They were to marry, have kids and forget about Christianity. It did not work, he converted her and they made vows of chastity. The fact that the boy was preaching, bringing people to baptism and was consecrated to chastity makes me think he was either a deacon or a priest. She became a consecrated virgin, almost the same role she had as a Vestal Virgin but now dedicated to Christ and not Vesta the Goddess of the Roman Fire and Household. He was about 18, she was about 25, so I think the married to placate their families but were planning to remain as before and devote themselves to God. It is amazing that 1,800 years later, we have their bones.Rudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260470744778217888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520912192432575238.post-43025610376881908642011-08-30T10:11:29.134-07:002011-08-30T10:11:29.134-07:00Yes Evelyn, that is the legend.Yes Evelyn, that is the legend.Rudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260470744778217888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520912192432575238.post-14782351321939801052011-08-30T08:34:50.279-07:002011-08-30T08:34:50.279-07:00Ok wait a minute I thought the reason why u got ma...Ok wait a minute I thought the reason why u got married was to have kids?
