Quomodo gaudebat sancta ista Crispina cuius hodie sollemnitas celebratur? Gaudebat cum tenebatur, cum ad iudicem ducebatur, cum in carcerem mittebatur, cum ligata producebatur, cum in catasta leuabatur, cum audiebatur, cum damnabatur; in his omnibus gaudebat; et eam miseri miseram putabant, quae coram angelis gaudebat.
'How did saint Crispina, whose festival (sollemnitas) we are celebrating today, rejoice? She rejoiced when arrested , when brought before the judge, when thrown into prison, when bound, when taken to the scaffold, when examined, when sentenced. In all this she rejoiced. And those who are wretched themselves considered her, who rejoiced in the company of angels, to be wretched!'
