Vivian was a mature woman and although she was now nearly 30 years old, she was still a virgin having committed her body and soul to the Lord she served from a very young age.

Vivian travelled many miles to a pagan country where Christianity was still punishable by death'
She was arrested while preaching and put on trial, she was given a chance to rennounce her faith and save herself from execution by marrying one of the pagan Lords but she refused saying that she was already betrothed to the one she followed and would remain a virgin until they were together in heaven.
The judge at her trial was amazed when far from being afraid she tried to convert him, he had no choice but to sentence her to death by crucifixion at dawn,her last night would be spent in the soldiers quarters for their pleasure.

On the day of her execution the abused and exhausted woman was clothed in a simple white shift, to increase her humiliation a crown of thornshad been forced on her head and with her wrists tightly bound, she was led by a rope around her neck to the site where she was to be put to death, deep in prayer with complete humility and obedience to her faith she offered no resistance and ignored the mockery of the crowds.

The execution site was on the edge of some woods overlooking a valley, the holy woman was stripped naked and by means of a pulley she was hauled up the trunk of the tree which had been specially prepared.
A ladder was erected and an executioner climbed level with Vivian's wrists and after fixing a sign above her head two large spikes were hammered through her wrists below the ropes.
Now with the ladder removed and no longer able to maintain herself in a state of religious ecstasy , Vivian screamed in terrible agony as the full weight of her naked body hanging by just the spikes through her wrists was stretched taught down the tree trunk.
Unconsciousness a temporary relief but when she came round the agony had returned as the executioners had nailed her feet either side of the tree trunk leaving her intimate parts fully exposed.
In this position Vivian began to regain a limited amount of composure and managed to grasp out a prayer forgiving her executioners for what they had done to her.
The courageous woman had borne all this in the name of her faith and many years later she became known as St Vivian.this
