Prasseda

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “prā́ssō (πρᾱ́σσω) prâxis (πρᾶξις),” meaning “active, to do or act, practice, experience.” Praxedes is a traditional Christian saint of the 2nd-century. Praxedes was a daughter of Saint Pudens, sister of Saint Pudentiana, and that her brothers were Saint Novatus and Saint Timothy. Novatus is said to have died in 151. The Christian interest of the words from this source is through Praxedes, who, according to the legend, was the daughter of the house in which St. Peter lodged at Rome, and devoted herself, together with her sister, to attending on Christians in prison, and burying them when they were put to death; a course of life that resulted in glorious martyrdom.
