The legend of the name Sofia

According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Hadrian, the pious widow Sophia lived in Italy, who had three daughters, whose names are Faith, Hope and Love. Sophia not only instilled love for the Lord in her daughters, but also taught them not to depend on earthly goods.

The pagan emperor wanted to personally see such a pious family. Sophia and her daughters were not afraid to come to the emperor, who decided to do everything possible to convert them to paganism. To do this, he sent the sisters to a pagan woman, who was supposed to convince the sisters to renounce the true faith. But his plan failed, because the eloquence of the pagan did not have any effect on the sisters.

Then Adrian decided to influence the sisters with more stringent methods. The executioners took turns brutally torturing the sisters in front of their mother. Vera was beaten, parts of her body were torn off, and then they were placed on a red-hot iron grate, but the fire did absolutely no harm to the body of the young martyr. Then, on the orders of Adrian, Vera was thrown into a cauldron of boiling tar. However, the cauldron cooled down, and therefore the resin did not cause any harm to the saint. But this did not stop the tormentor, and he ordered the martyr's head to be cut off.

Hope and Love were subjected to no less cruel torture which the sisters endured with dignity. As a result, they, like Vera, were beheaded. Vera was 12 years old, while Nadezhda was 10, and Lyubov was only 9 years old.

The torments of St. Sophia were not physical, on the contrary, she was doomed to mental torment, since she not only witnessed the torment of her daughters, but also lost them forever.

The sufferer buried her daughters-martyrs in accordance with the Christian tradition and for two days did not leave their modest grave. On the third day, her long-suffering soul calmed down and reunited with her daughters in heaven (Sophia died at the grave of her children).
