Pashasia
Paschasia († 178? In Dijon ) was a martyr and saint .
According to legend, Pashasia was baptized and taught Christian doctrine by Saint Benignus of Dijon , who is said to have brought Christianity to the Divio area (now Dijon). She was beheaded and her body turned over to the flames. The Bollandists place the martyrdom of the Paschasia in the time of the emperor Marcus Aurelius . Since the martyrdom of Benignus today mostly only in the time of the emperor Aurelianus, d. H. around 270, later dating is possible.
The remains of the Paschasia are said to have been collected by Christians and buried next to the bones of St. Benignus. In 1001 an altar was dedicated to her in the Church of St. Guillaume. Her feast day is January 9th . Gregory von Tours reports that she is invoked as the patron saint against eye problems.
