Martyr Sophia and Her Daughters, and Martyr Theodota
Today we remember the holy martyrs Sophia and her three daughters—Faith, Hope, and Love—who lived in Rome. These brave women openly confessed their Christian faith and endured severe torture rather than renounce it. Their story is one of steadfast courage and deep love for Christ. We also honor Martyr Theodota of Nicea, a wealthy woman from Cappadocia who suffered under the governor Symblicius during the reign of Emperor Alexander Severus. Despite cruel tortures, she remained unharmed and faithful until her peaceful death by beheading.
