Two days after her death a priest named John buried Bibiana near her mother and sister in her home, the house being later transformed into a church.

It is evident that the legend seeks to explain in this way the origin of the church and the presence in it of the bodies of the above-mentioned confessors.

Dafrosa was beheaded, and their two daughters, Bibiana and Demetria, were stripped of their possessions and left to suffer poverty.

Enraged at the constancy of this saintly virgin, Apronianus ordered her to be tied to a pillar and beaten with scourges, laden with lead plummets, until she died.

The saint endured the torments with joy, and died under the blows inflicted by the hands of the executioner.
