 Saints Justa and Rufina, Sisters and Martyrs Justa and her sister Rufina
were pottery sellers in Seville, Spain during Diocletian's persecutions
of the early Christians. When the two sisters refused to sell their
wares to be used in pagan ceremonies, their stock was destroyed. In
retaliation they destroyed the image of a pagan goddess, were then
seized and tortured and executed, Rufina by strangulation, and Justa on
the rack. They are the Patrons of Potters. VIEW ANOTHER IMAGE OF
