Towards the end of her life she returned to her native Wales where she reposed.

PALATIAS and LAURENTIA, SS. Palatias and Laurentia were martyred in the opening years of the Diocletianic Persecution (303–313) at Fermo near Ancona (central Italy). St. Laurentia was either a servant or slave of St. Palatias and had converted her mistress to Christianity.

PETER of SEVILLE, (Date Unknown), a martyr venerated in Seville (southern Spain). Many legends surround this saint none of which are reliable.

TRIDUNA (TREDWALL, TRALLEN), (Fourth Century), According to the Aberdeen Breviary St. Triduna was a Christian maiden from Colossæ in Asia Minor who accompanied St. Regulus of Scotland (17th October) when he brought the relics of St. Andrew to Scotland in the fourth century She is said to have settled in Rescobie near Forfar in Angus (Scotland). She spent her later years in Restalrig, Lothian, Scotland where she reposed and was buried.

Prior to the Schism the Patriarchate of Rome was Orthodox, and fully in communion with the Orthodox Church. As Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco +1966 said “The West was Orthodox for a thousand years, and her venerable Liturgy is far older than any of her heresies”.

Details of British Saints excerpted from Orthodox Saints of the British Isles.
Details of continental saints from these sources.

In many cases there are several spelling versions of the names of saints from the British Isles. I use the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography version as the primary version with the more prevalent version in parenthesis e.g. Ceadda (Chad) of Lichfield.
