== Biography == Praxedes' father was Saint Pudens, a Roman senator who was a Christian convert of St. Peter, mentioned in the New Testament by St. Paul in 2 Timothy 4:21. She was the sister of Saint Pudentiana. Sabine Baring-Gould, in the entry for Saint Novatus, states that Praxedes' brothers were Saint Novatus and Saint Timothy.
