Not much is known about her, except she was martyrd quite horribly...

Her remains are kept as relics in Northern Italy
In a strange coincidence, it turns out, yes, there is a Saint Corona and, incredibly, she is a patroness of plagues and epidemics.
To make the coincidence even stranger, her remains have been kept in a basilica in Anzu, Northern Italy, the site of the first COVID-19 lockdown in the EU, since the 9th century.

(102,236 posts)1. well, one might wonder if the "ghost of St. Corona" might be more intersted in retribution
given that history. Geez.
NO mammal is capable of more abject cruelty than human beings.
Isn't it also strange that she was canonized after that and they kept her freaking bones like religious artifacts?
I don't know of you watch "Supernatural" ...but I got a feeling they might need to do a salt & burn on those bones!
