Book of Saints – Sunnifa
(Saint) Virgin Martyr (July 8) (10th century) An Irish maiden whom tradition asserts to have been cast away by shipwreck on the coast of Norway, together with other maidens her companions. There they appear to have led a life of seclusion and prayer. To them the old Scottish Church undoubtedly gave a liturgical cultus, as to canonised Saints.
