Saint Ursula

Saint Ursula ("little female bear" in Latin) is a Christian saint. Her feast day in the Catholic Church is October 21. When Ursula was a little girl, she loved children very much. She therefore became a teacher. The Huns captured Ursula and her companions during a visit to France. They asked Ursula and her companions to refute their belief in Christ. They all refused so the army of the Huns drew their swords. They killed Ursula and all her companions. She is the Saint of Virgin Martyrs.
