Saint Sophia

Saint Sophia, along with her three daughters, Saint Elpida, Saint Pisti and Saint Agapi are a symbol of faith and courage for the Church. They lived during the reign of Hadrian (117 – 138 A.D.), originating from a rich noble family of Italy. Hadrian initially tried to make them renounce their faith in Christ using mild means but then resorted to incredible violence. He killed one daughter after another with horrible tortures; the 12-year old Pisti, the 10-year old Elpida and the 9-year old Agapi. He let their mother endure her martyrdom alive to bury them. Once she buried her daughters, she delivered her spirit to the Lord.
