Agrippina of Mineo, also known as Saint Agrippina (flourished 3rd century, died 262) was venerated as a virgin martyr in the Catholic Church and Orthodox Christianity.
[2] Her body was said to have been taken to Mineo, Sicily, by three devout Christian women named Bassa, Paula,[3] and Agatonica,[2] their travels aided by angels.
[4] Alban Butler says that the reputed acts in the Greek Menaia are quite unreliable and no evidence is forthcoming of any cultus of early date.
[5] Her tomb became a popular pilgrimage destination, and she was invoked as a patron saint against evil spirits, leprosy, and thunderstorms.
Immigrants from Mineo to the North End of Boston have celebrated their patron saint annually since 1914 during the first week of August.
