Aquilina was a young Christian martyr from the Phoenician city of Byblos who lived during the late third century. Raised in a pious household by her father, Eutolmius, she studied under Bishop Evthalios. At the age of twelve, she successfully encouraged a pagan companion to embrace the Christian faith. This act led to her arrest by the local governor, Volusian, who sought to punish her for rejecting traditional pagan worship in favor of her religious convictions.
