In the reign of Emperor Adrian lived in Rome Widow, native Italian, named Sofia, which means wisdom in translating. She was a Christian, and according to her name, life behaved prudently - for the wisdom, which the Apostle Jacob praises, saying: "Wisdom, coming over, first, clean, then peaceful, modest, obedient, full of mercy and good fruits" (James.3: 17). Trying Sophia, living in an honest marriage, gave birth to three daughters, who ordered the names corresponding to the three Christian virtues: she called the first daughter with faith, the second - hope, and the third - love. And what could have happened from the wisdom of Christian, how not to God have plenty of virtues? Soon after the birth of the third daughter, Sofia lost his spouse. Left widow, she continued to live a pious, catering to God with prayer, fasting and alms; She brought up his daughters as it could do it to do the mother: she tried to teach them to show and in life those Christian virtues, the names of which they wore.
As children grew, increased in them and virtue. They already knew the prophetic and apostolic books well, were accustomed to the teachings of mentors, diligently engaged in reading, were diligent in prayer and in domestic works. Obeying the holy and god mother of his mother, they succeeded in everything and sealed the power. And since they were extremely beautiful and prudent, they soon all began to pay attention.
Rumor about their wisdom and beauty spread throughout Rome. Heard about them and the head of the field of Antihai and wished to see them. As soon as he saw them, immediately made sure that they were Christian; For they did not want to hide their faith in Christ, did not doubt the hope of Him and did not weaken in their love for him, but the Lord's Christ glorified by the Gods who begged by the governing idols.
About this Antioch informed Tsar Adrian, and he did not slow down right now to send his servants so that they brought the girls to him. By fulfilling the royal command, the servants went to the house of Sofia and when they came to her, they saw that she was engaged in the teaching of his daughters. The servants declared her that the king was calling her with her daughters. Mind, with what purpose their king calls, they all appealed to God with such a prayer:
All-industrialous God, coordinate with us in your holy will; Do not leave us, but you went to your holy assistance, so that our heart does not frighten the proud tormentman, so that we are not afraid of the terrible torment, and they didn't get horrified by death; Let nothing spin us from you, our God.
Having created a prayer and bowing to the Lord God, all four - mother and daughters, taking each other by his hands like a woven wreath, went to the king and, often looking at the sky. with heart-sink and secret prayer handed themselves to helping who commanded not to be afraid "Kinding the body, the souls who cannot kill" (Mf.10: 28). When they came to the tsarist palace, they siled themselves with the godmond, saying:
Help us, God, our Savior, glorify the sake of your Holy Name.
They were injected into the palace, and they appeared before the king, which proudly rented on his throne. Seeing the king, they gave him the appropriate honor, but stood before him without any fear, without any change in his face, with the courage in the heart and looked at all the fun gaze, as if they were called on the feast; They were joyed with the king to the torture for the gentlemen of her.
Seeing their noble, bright and fearless faces, the king began to ask what kind of birth they are, what their name is and what is their faith. Being wischable, the mother was answered so prudently that all those present, listening to her answers, was divided into such a reason. Mentioning briefly about his origin and name, Sofia began to talk about Christ, no one can explain to clarify, but the name of which should worship any kind. She opened her faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and, named his work, glorified his name.
I am a Christian, "she said," That's the precious name, which I can boast.
At the same time, she said that she wrapped her daughters with Christ, so that they were revealed for the imperious bridegroom - the Son of God.
Then the king, seeing in front of such a wise woman, but not wanting to join her long conversation and judge her, postponed this thing to another time. He sent Sofia with his daughters to one noble woman, named Palladia, entrusted to her to watch them, and after three days to present them to him.
Living in Palladia's house and having no little time at its disposal to learn their daughters, Sofia claimed them in the faith day and night, looking inspired by God with the words.
The daughters are my beloved, "she said," Now the time of your feat, now the day of the bumps of your immortal fiance, now you kind of names should show faith hard, hope is undoubted, love is non-estate and eternal. It was the hour of the celebration of yours when the martyrdom you will be marred with the adultery of your fiance and with great joy will enter the prevail of his panel. My daughters, for the sake of this honor, do not regret the young of your flesh; Do not spare the beauty of your and youth, for the most beautiful kindness of the most sons of human, and for the sake of the eternal life, do not grieve about what to deprive this life is temporary. For your heavenly beloved, Jesus Christ, there is an eternal health, an unraded beauty and life endless. And when your body will be tortured to death, he will cover them in the volatile and your wounds will make it light like stars in the sky. When your beauty will be from the flour for it take away from you, he will decorate you with heavenly beauty, the human eye has never seen. When you lose a temporary life, putting my souls for our gentlemen, he will reward you with an endless life, in whom will glorify you in the eyelids before the Father's Heavenly and before Holy Angels, and all the heavenly forces will gave you brides and confessioners of Christ. You are praised all the reverend, wise maids will be arranged about you and take you into our communication. My daughter is my dear! Do not let yourself be seduced by the delights of the enemy: For, as I think, the king will embroider your caresses and fill the big gifts, offering you glory, wealth and honor, all the beauty and sweetness of this threaten and the fussy world; But you do not get anything like this, for all this, as the smoke disappears, as the dust of the wind is stuck and how the color and grass dries out and turns into the ground. Do not frighten when you see a laugh of torment, for, the victim is a bit, you will defeat the enemy and enthusiastically. I believe in the God of my Jesus Christ, I believe that he will not leave you those who suffer in his name, for he himself said: "Will the woman will forget his breast child, so as not to spare his son's son? But if she had forgotten, I would not forget you " (IS.49: 15), it will be relentless with you in all your flour, looking at your feats, strengthening your gentlemen and deemed you in the award of the crown of unprecedented. Oh, my daughters are beautiful! Remember my disease at your birth, remember my works, in which I fought you, remember my words, what I taught you fear of God, and comforted your mother in her old age your good and courageous confession of faith in Christ. For me there will be a celebration and joy, and honor, and glory among all believers, if you wonder if I refer to the mother of the Martyrs, if I see your valiant patience for Christ, the firm confession of his holy name and death for him. Then my soul will argue, and my spirit will rejoice, and my old age will eat. Then you will truly with my daughters, if, having listened to the instructions of your mother, you will stand for the gentlemen of your blood and die for him with zeal.
After listening to such a guarantee of his mother, the girls experienced sweetness in the heart and rejoiced in spirit, waiting for the time of torment as a marriage hour. For being sainted branches from the Holy Root, they wanted all the soul of what they instructed their mother Sofia. They took all her words to the heart and prepared themselves to the feat of martyrdom, as if they were going to a bright pane, fencing themselves with faith, strengthening hope, and mirroring the fire of love to the Lord. Having encouraging and claiming each other, they promised his mother to carry out their all her delete councils with the help of Christ in fact.
When the third day came, they were given to the lawless king to the court. Thinking that they can easily obey his seductive words, the king began to talk to them so much:
Children! Seeing your beauty and sparing your youth, I advise you as a father: worship the gods, the rulers of the Universe; And if you listen to me and execute what you are ordered, then I will call you with my children. I will prize the chiefs and rulers and all my advisers and with them will announce you with your daughters, and you will use it from all the praise and honor. And if you do not listen and do not fulfill my commandment, you cause yourself a great evil, and the old age of Mother is mistaken, and you yourself will perish at the time when you could have fun, living carelessly and fun. For I betray you for the death of your death and, reducing your body members, let them go to the egregation of PSAs and you will be trampled by everyone. So for your own own good, listen to me: For I love you and not only I do not want to root the beauty of your and deprive you of this life, but would like to become a father for you.
But the Virgin Saints unanimously and unanimously answered him:
Our father is God, in heaven living. He produces about us and our souls and loves; We want to be loved by them and wish to be called his true children. Worshiping him and keeping His commandments and commandments, on your gods spits, and your threats are not afraid, for we just wish to suffer and transfer bitter torments for the sake of the sweet Jesus Christ, our God.
Hearing from them is such an answer, the king asked the mother Sofia, what is the name of her daughters and how old they are.
Holy Sofia answered:
The first name of my daughter Vera, and she is twelve years; The second - hope - has ten years, and the third is love, which is just nine years old.
The king was very surprised that at such a young age they possess courage and mind and may be so responsible for him. He began to force again every one of them to the dishonor and first turned to the older sister faith, saying:
Bring the Sacrifice of the Great Goddess Artemis.
But faith refused. Then the king ordered it to spread it to Naga and beat her. Povers, inflicting shocks without any mercy, said:
Fit the great goddess Artemis.
But she silently suffered suffering, as if they were bilted not by her body, but for someone else. Without having achieved any success, the tormentor commanded to cut her virgin nipples. But from the Russian Academy of Sciences instead of blood milk flowed. All those who looked at the torment of faith were divided by the miracle and the patience of the martyr. And, shaking his heads, secretly reinforced the king for his madness and cruelty, saying:
How did this beautiful maiden sin, and for what is so suffering? Oh, Mount the madness of the king and his brutal cruelty, inhumanly sponging not only the elders, but even small children.
After this, an iron grille was brought and put on a strong fire. When she fused, as hot coal, and sparks flew from her, they laid the holy maiden faith on her. She lay on two hours to this lattice and, appealing to the Lord, Nimalo did not fall that everyone led them to amazement. Then she was planted into the boiler, standing on the fire and filled with boiling stencil and butter, but also remained uncovered, and sitting in it, as it were, in cool water, he challenged God. The tormentman, not knowing what else to do with it, whatever he could turn her from the faith of Christ, sentenced her to the truncation with a sword.
Hearing this sentence, the Holy Vera was joyful and said his mother:
Pray for me, my mother, so that I finish the march mine, get to the desired end, to see the beloved Lord and the Savior of mine and enjoy the appearance of his deity.
And sisters said:
Remember, kind of my sisters, to whom we gave vow, who were drunk; You know that we are captured by the Holy Cross of our Lord and forever must serve him; Therefore, we will preserve to the end. The same mother gave birth to us, one brought up and taught us, therefore and we must take the same death; As one-utilous sisters, we must have one will. Let me be an example for you, so that you walked both for me to the bridegroom calling us.
After this, she kissed her mother, then, hugging the sisters, also kissed them and went under the sword. Mother didn't think at all about his daughter, for the love of God won the heart sadness and maternal pity for children. She only crushed and cared, no matter how any of her daughters was afraid of MUK and would not retreat her from the Lord.
And she said faith:
I gave birth to you, my daughter, and because of you there was a disease. But you pay for me for this blessing, dying for the name of Christ and shedding the same blood for him, which he accepted in my womb. Go to him, my beloved, and the blood of yours, as if clothed in the bugger, will be very beautiful before the eyes of your groom, the obstacle to him the wretched mother and pray to him about her sisters, so that he strengthened in the same patience, what do you show you.
After this St. Vera was truncated in the honest chapter and moved to the head of his Christ to God. Mother, hugging her long-suffering body and kissing him, rejoiced and famous Christ of God, who took her daughter to her faith in Heavenly.
Then the wicked king put his hope of his sister and told her:
Dare child! We accept my advice: I say it, loving you just like a father, - worship Great Artemis, so as not to perish and you, how your older sister died. Did you see her terrible flour, saw her hard death, really you want to suffer. Believe me, my child is that I regret your youth; If you listened to my orders, I would declare you my daughter.
Holy Hope answered:
King! Is I not the sister of the one you killed? Didn't I be born from one with her mother? Is it not the same milk, I am fed and didn't I get baptism, like my saint sister? I grew up with it and from the same books and from one master of my mother learned to know God and the Lord of our Jesus Christ, believing in him and he worship alone. Do not think the king, so I do and think differently, and wanted not the same thing that my sister is my faith; No, I want to go to her traces. Do not medley and do not try to dissuade me in many words, but it is better to start the cause and you will see my unquestion with Sestro.
Hearing such an answer, the king devoted her to torment.
Bringing it to Naga, as well as faith, the servants of the Tsarskie broke it for a long time without any pity, - until they were tired. But she was silent, no matter how hard feeling at all, and just looked at his blessed Sophia, who stood here, courageously looking at the suffering of her daughter and praying God to give her a strong patience.
According to the command of the unplanned king of St. Hope was thrown into the fire and, remaining harmlessly like three years, glorified God. After this, she was hanged and she was plasted by iron claws: her body fell slices and blood flowed by a stream, but the wonderful fragrance came from the Russian Academy of Sciences, and on her face, bright and shining grace of St. Spirit, was a smile. St. Nadezhda was still the tormentor in the fact that he is unable to defeat the patience of such a juvenile sortie.
Christ is my help, "she said," and I'm not only not afraid of flour, but I wish her as sweets of the paradise: so pleasant for me suffering for Christ. You, tormentor, expects flour in Geenna Fiery together with demons, for which you read the gods.
Such a speech was even more irritated by the reserves, and he ordered to fill the boiler with a mixture and butter, - set fire to him and throw a holy in him. But when they wanted to throw the holy boiler in the boiling boiler, he immediately was mocked, and the resin and the oil broke up and fell away from everyone around. So the miraculous power of God did not leave St. Hope.
Proud tormentman, seeing all this, did not want to know the true God, for his heart was overshadowed by the charm of demon and a detrimental delusion. But, the ridiculous Nardokokovyia, he felt a great shame. Not wanting to carry such a shame, he condemned, finally, the holy on the truncation with a sword. Schrookovitsa, hearing about the approach of his death, gladly approached the mother and said:
My mother! May the world be with you, be sad and remember your daughter.
Mother, hugging, kissed her, saying:
Daughter is my hope! Blessed you are from the Lord God of Vyshny for what they hope for him and for the sake of him, I do not regret shed your blood; Go to the sister of your faith and with her will appear to your beloved.
Hope also kissed his love sister, looking at her torment, and told her:
Do not stay here and you, sister, will appear together before holy Trice.
Having said this, she approached the lifeless body of the sister of his faith and, with a lovely hugging him, according to the nature of human pity, wanted to cry, but according to love to Christ changed the tears to joy. After this, keeping up my chapter, St. Hope was truncated by a sword.
Taking her body, the mother glorified God, rejoicing his daughters of his daughters, and encouraged him to be patient with his sweet words and wise guarantees and younger her daughter.
The tormentman called on the third love of love and tried to learn her, as well as the first two sisters to retreate it from crucified and bowed to Artemis. But in vain were the efforts of the seductor. For to whom it is so firmly suffered for his beloved Lord, if not love, because in Scripture it is said: "Strike, like death, love ... Large waters can not put out love, and the river will not foul it" (Song.8: 6-7).
Did not fade in this sortie of the fire of love for God many waters of worldly temptations, did not sing her rivers of troubles and suffering; Her great love was particularly clearly visible from the fact that she was ready to put his soul for her beloved, gentlemen Jesus Christ, and after all, there are no greater love, how to put his soul for friends (John 15: 13).
The tormentman, seeing that nothing can be done by caresses, decided to betray to suffering and love, thinking to different torments to distract her from love to Christ, but she answered the apostle:
- Who will leave us from God's love: sorrow, or close, or a persecution, or hunger, or nudity, or danger, or sword? (Rome.8: 15).
The tormentman ordered, stretching her on the wheel, beat stick. And she was stretched so that her members of the body separated her from the compositions of their own and she, being hit by the palco, was covered as a bugger of blood, who was getting married and earth, as if from the rain.
Then the stove was deselected. Pointing to her, the tormentor spoke Holy:
Girl! Tell me, just that the Goddess of Artemis is great, and I will let you go, and if you can't tell this, then now you will burn in this subordinate oven.
But the Holy replied:
God is my Jesus Christ, Artemis and you will die with it!
The tormentover, angry with such words, commanded the upcoming immediately put it into the oven.
But the holy, without waiting for anyone who threw it to the oven, herself hurried to enter her and, being unharmed, walked her in the middle of her, as if in a cool place, singing and blessing God, and rejoiced.
At the same time, the flame flew from the furnace on the wrong, surrounding the oven, and some of them went to the ashes, and others were faltered and, having reached the king, burned and him, so that he flew far away.
In the furnace of that were visible and other shining by the light of the face, which were shown with the martyr. And the name of Christ was exceeded, and the wicked were posted.
When the oven, the martyr, the beautiful Bride of Christ, came out of her well and fun, like a pacologist.
Then the tormentors, according to the command of the king, the members of the members of its iron drills, but God supported the Holy Holy Assistance and in these flour, so she did not die from them.
Who could undergo such torment and would not die instantly?!
However, the beloved of the bridegroom, Jesus Christ, reinforced the holy, so that as soon as possible to be wicked, and she to give a great award, and that the strong power of God became famous in the gentle vessel with human.
The tormentor commanded from the burn commanded, finally, to sit down the holy sword.
She, heard about this, was glad and said:
Lord Jesus Christ, who loved the slave your love, - I sing and bless the multi-minded name is yours for what you think with my sisters, having encouraging me and you will undergo your name the same as they have undergone.
Mother of her sv. Sofia, without stopping, prayed to God about his younger daughter, so that he gave her patience to the end and told her:
The third is my branch, Choo my beloved, hurt to the end. You go good way and the crown is already gossipped for you and rejects the paved mistake, the groom already expects you, looking from the height on your feat to, when you kill your head under the sword, take your clean and immaculate soul in your arms and bother you with Your sisters. Remember me, my mother, in the kingdom of the groom, so that he gives the mercy and I did not deprive me to participate and stay with you in the glory of His Holy.
And immediately Love was truncated by a sword.
Mother, having accepted her body, put it in an expensive coffin along with the bodies of the saints of faith and hope and, decorating the bodies of them as it should, put the coffin on the burial chariot, drove them from the city for a while and with honor buried his daughters on a high hill, crying from joy. Being on the grave of their three days, she silently prayed to God and he herself well about the Lord. Believers buried it there along with daughters. Thus, she did not lose themselves with them to participate in the kingdom of heaven and martyrdom, because if not a body, then her heart and she suffered for Christ.
So wisdom Sofia and life graduated from the wisdom, bringing the three virtual daughters of his faith, hope and love as a gift to the Holy Trinity.
Oh, Holy and Righteous Sofia! What a woman was saved through Chadorody as you, giving birth to such children, koi was born to the Savior and, victim for him, now reign and glorified with him? Truly you are a mother, worthy of surprise and good memory; Since, looking at the terrible, grave flour and the death of the beloved of their children, you not only did not grieve, as the mother, but, comfortable by the grace of God, was more happy, he taught himself more and begged his daughters to regret the time life and shed her blood for her Christ of the Lord.
Enjoying the vision of the visionary of his face, together with the Holy Daughters, went to the wisdom, so that we, retain the virtues of faith, hopes and love, were encountered to appeal to the Blessed, uncooked and life-giving Trinity and praise her forever. Amen.

Who does not know this combination of names: faith, hope, love and mother of their Sophia? Before his eyes, the image of a mother, who spent his daughters to death, was drawn, and then died on their grave. This story externally amazes its tragedy. But from the point of view of internal experiences is an example of a Christian life feat.
Day of the memory of the four Christian saints - faith, hopes, love and mother of their Sofia is celebrated on September 17 According to the old style, September 30 in a new way.
They lived in the second century of our era, in the capital of the Roman Empire. In those days, when Church of Christ only robbed over the pagan world and often endured oppression, cropping, hatred of ruling and mobile.
Sofia lived in an honest marriage, and she was born three daughters. Called the woman them according to Christian virtues. The eldest - wristness that translated from Greek to Russian means faith. Middle daughter called Elpis - Hope. The youngest was the most long-awaited and therefore received the name Agap - love. It should be noted that the name Sofia is also speaking. It is translated as wisdom.
Soon after the birth of the last child, Sofia widowed. Overcoming, a pious mother sent all his strength to raising children. They all lived a pious, catering to God with prayer, fasting and alms. The daughters of their Sophia tried to teach the manifestation and in life those Christian virtues, the names of which they wore.
At that time, the ruled Emperor Caesar Traian Adrian Augustus, who was a fan of the pagan gods. And for Christians it was terrible times. Everyone who believed in the Savior understood that at any moment he could be captured and lost not only the property, but also life for his faith.
In Orthodoxy, Emperor Adrian is known as the executioner, The ordered to torture publicly and execute three little sisters - faith, hope and love. What led to this tragedy?
Early Christians cared for their children to deserve the kingdom of God. And as soon as the consciousness was found in the babies, they inspired the faith in God. They tried to capture the living knowledge of Christ in the children's minds to root in them Christian piety. The name of the Savior, who took martyrdom on the cross for the sake of the atonement of the sins of humanities, children were absorbed with Mother's milk.
As the daughter of Sofia grew, increased in them and virtue. They already knew the prophetic and apostolic books well, were accustomed to the teachings of mentors, diligently engaged in reading, were diligent in prayer and in domestic works. Obeying the holy and god mother of his mother, the daughter succeeded in everything and sealed due to power. And since they were extremely beautiful and prudent, they soon all began to pay attention.
One day, a certain ruler of the region Antioch found out that the widow of Sofia and her daughter - Christian. That they openly unlawfully glorified Christ the Lord, while bent the gifted by the godbariy.
Antioch informed about this Roman emperor Adriana, And he ordered to bring her mother and her children to him. He anticipated a lightweight victory - after all, before him, a defenseless mother and three little girls were to appear. The older sister, faith, was twelve years, the hope of only ten, and love just turned nine years.
They were injected into the palace, and they appeared before the emperor. Seeing Adrian, Sofia and her daughters gave him the appropriate honors, but stood before him without any fear. They looked at all with a cheerful eyes, as if were called to the feast, but not to the court.
Seeing their fearlessness, the emperor began to ask what kind they are, What is their name and what are their faith. Being wischable, the mother was so prudent that all those present, listening to her answers, was divided into such a reason. Mentioning briefly about his origin and name, Sofia began to talk about Christ, no one can explain to clarify, but the name of which should worship any kind. She openly confessed her faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and, named him to his work, not worried, glorified his name.
"I am a Christian," Sophia said, "That's the precious name, I can boast."
At the same time, she said that she had his daughters gained her Christ, In order for the unprecedented purity, they retained for the nettical groom - the Son of God.
Hearing this, the emperor promised generous gifts and honors if they renew their faith. But Sofia answered firmly that she was a slave Christ.
Then the mother began to convince to go to the trick. She was asked to throw a pinch of incense to the legs of the statue of Artemis. Her dearly persuaded that it was worth the pagan goddess of just a small sacrifice, and she and her girls would be on freedom!
But the true faith is checked.
And Sofia is solved for death - and not to betrayal. Mother and her daughters openly admitted that they confess the faith in Christ, and cannot give up even in small.
Then Adrian, seeing to be so fearless family, I used another attempt to break your faith in God, ordered the widow with children to take to the paganice named Palladium. This woman was instructed to convince the mother not to sacrifice his girls, their future, their happiness. But, no matter how nor taught Sofia, the widow and this time did not reject the faith of his.
She spent the allotted time in prayer and strengthening children to be ready for a martyerical feat. In this appeal to children, maternal love, strong spirit and deep faith were connected.
"My dear children! "She said to her daughters," Now it is now the time of the journey of our for Jesus Christ. " Do not be afraid to suffer for him and lose a temporary life for eternal life in the kingdom of him! Do not be afraid if your bodies will syntify: God will heal your wounds and give you awnable beauty ... Do not take care of it too, if you are promised to promise rich gifts and all sorts of honors earthly. All this disappears as smoke, as the dust is stirred by the wind and fades like grass. Alternatively, only God's gifts. Do not be afraid of any evil: God will not retreat from you, he himself promised to believe in him that her mother would forget the child than he would forget his people.
Oh, children, remember that I gave birth to you in the sufferings, in the works I brought you up, remember how I taught you love and fear of God, and comforted the old age of my solid confession of Christ. Give me joy to name the mother of Martyrs of Christ! Then my soul will be erected, when I see my children dying for our Lord! "
On the third day they were again led to the court. There is a daughter again Did not repented from the faith of Christ for the sake of all sorts of pleasure pleasures. Muk was not worn.
The emperor first was affectionate. He said he was ready to become young girls with his father. And sisters will enjoy praise and honor in Rome. But if they refuse, then the great evil will cause themselves: they will die at the time when they could live careless and fun.
But the sister's saints answered him:
- Our father is God living in heaven. He produces about us and our souls and loves; We wish to be called His true children.
The king was very surprised that at such a young age, the girls had courage and mind and could answer so.
He began to force each of them to renunciation and turned to the older sister faith:
- Bring the victim of the Great Goddess Artemis.
But faith refused.
The emperor was angry. After all, he at that time was the most powerful person in the world. The dimensions of its empire extended to the borders of the land known in those times. No one could reap him, go against his will. The word Adrian was the law. But there were those who allowed themselves to be awesome on the will of the emperor. Some little girls.
And Adrian condemned the sisters to death. He also demanded So that I saw my eyes with my own eyes how to torment and kill her children.
The first faith died. The executioners divided it to Naga and brutally beat. But she silently suffered suffering, as if they were bilted not by her body, but for someone else. Without achieving no success, the executioners decided to cut off her head.
Hearing this sentence, Holy Faith fulfilled joy And his mother said:
- Pray for me, my mother, so that I finish my march, walk to the desired end, see the beloved gentlemen and the Savior of mine and enjoy the appearance of His deity.
And sisters said:
- Remember, kind of my sisters, to whom we gave vow, who were born. You know that we are captured by the Holy Cross of our Lord and forever must serve him; Therefore, we will preserve to the end. The same mother gave birth to us, one brought and taught us, therefore, and we must take the same ending. Let me be an example for you, so that you walked both for me to the Lord.
Mother didn't think about his daughter at all, for the love of God He won the heart challenge and maternal pity for children. She only crushed and cared, no matter how any of her daughters could be frightened and did not retreat from his faith.
And she said faith:
"I gave birth to you, my daughter, and because of you suffered a disease." But you pay for me for this blessing, dying for the name of Christ and shedding the same blood for him, which he accepted in my womb.
Holy faith cut off her head, and his soul went down to God. Mother, hugging her a long-suffering body and kissing him, rejoiced and famous Christ, who took her daughter to her faith in Heavenly.
And then it came to the middle sister turn ..
The emperor told Hope:
- kind child! Will the Great Artemis, so as not to perish and you, how your older sister died. Have you seen her terrible flour, saw her hard death, really you want to suffer?
Holy Hope answered:
- King! Is I not the sister of the one you killed? I am not only not afraid of flour, but I wish her as the sweets of the paradise. So pleasant for me suffering for Christ. You, tormentor, expects flour in Geenna Fiery together with demons, for which you read the gods.
Hearing such a custody answer, Adrian betrayed a girl on torment.
He ordered to fill the boiler with a mixture and butter, - set fire to him and throw holy in it. But when they wanted to throw the holy boiler in the boiling boiler, he immediately was mocked, and the resin and the oil broke up and fell away from everyone around. So the miraculous power of God did not leave the Holy Hope.
Sundayed Maldly Schockovice, Adrian experienced a great shame. Not wanting to carry such a shame, he condemned, finally, the holy on the truncation with a sword.
When there was a turn of love, the emperor and here tried to learn her, as well as the first two sisters to retreat from Christ and bowed to Artemis. But in vain were the efforts of the seductor. For to whom it is so firmly suffered for his beloved Lord, if not love?
The Scripture says: "Strike, like death, love ... Large waters can not put out love, and the river will not fill it "
The executioners thought to frighten the girl like the execution of execution, because they prepared a hot stove for her.
Adrian spoke Holy:
- Maiden! Tell me just that the goddess of Artemis is great, and I will let you go,
But the youngest little sister did not show fear and answered:
- God is my Jesus Christ, Artemis and you will die with it!
She herself entered the flaming horn. That's just the fire did not fall her body, and then Adrian ordered the love of love with swords.
Her mother of Holy Sofia, without ceasing, prayed to God about his younger daughter, so that he gave her patience to the end and told her:
- Third of my branch, Choot my beloved, hurt to the end. You go good way and the crown is already woven for you and rejected the paved test. Remember me with the sisters and me, your mother so that the Lord gives the mercy and I did not deprive me to participate and stay with you in the glory of His Holy.
And immediately holy love was truncated by a sword.
Seeing the three little girls accepted a martyrdom, But did not renounce the faith of Christ, the emperor Adrian pardon Sofia. He considered that ambulance for her would be relieved. He thought that the loss of the most expensive thing that had a mother would drive her crazy, and her further life would be an endless torture.
Sofia took the body of daughters on the chariot for the city and buried there. Three days she spent from their grave in the undercessant prayer, and then fell asleep of death. Having found the mother's body near the grave, people buried her next to her daughters beloved.
So she did not lose their participation in the kingdom of heaven And the martyr's wedding, because if not the body, then his heart and she suffered for Christ.
Leading Sofia and his life graduated from the wisdom, bringing the three virtuous daughters of his holy Trinity as a gift. Nothing could get to retreat from the faith of young martyrs. Undoubtedly, in this they helped and strengthened the grace of God. But it should be said that the faithfulness of the young martyrs Christ was largely predetermined by the Christian education that mother gave them. Her instructions helped to combine immortal souls in the kingdom of heaven.
We walked a century, and the fame of the saints of the saints of martyrs, wounded around the world.
The story of the relics of holy martyrs is interesting. In the eighth century By order of the Pope of the Roman Paul's first, they were from the crypt of the cemetery of St. Pankraty in Rome were transferred to the new church of St. Sylvester on the Marsfield. Some of them were presented as a gift to the monastery of St. Julia in the Italian city of Brescia.
In 777, the relics were postponed to the Women's Monastery in Asho near Strasbourg in France, where they attracted many pilgrims. For coming there, a large hotel was built, and around the abbey in time the village was rummaged. But during the Great French Revolution at the end of the eighteenth century, the monastery was ruined. True, there is information that, wanting to cover the relics of martyrs from the crop, the nuns hid them at the monastery cemetery, where they still are hidden in an unknown place.
Currently in the Church of St. Trofim is Historical cancer with a particle of the relics of the Holy Martyr Sofia.
In the Byzantine art of faith, hope and love were depicted Young, their mother Sofia is a little older. The age of Sofia's daughters was not emphasized, and at the time of the execution of girls, as we know, it was 12, 10 and 9 years old. This principle was broken only sometimes in the scenes of martyrdom.
On the icons, the saints are closed in chitons, their heads are covered with mafhoria, robes could also be richly decorated, and white patterned fees were thrown on the heads of the martyr.
The name of the four Christian saints - faith, hopes, love and mother of their Sofia are celebrated on September 17, on the old style, on September 30 in a new way. Since ancient times, this day is considered the main female holiday in Russia.

The life of the Saints of the Great Martyr tears us to thoughts about self-sacrifice In the critical moments of life, and the symbolism of holy names directly indicates that if the faith will die in our heart, the hope, love and wisdom will die after it.
The feat of Saint Sophia is great. How to measure the whole pain of the heart mother, naturally full of pity for their children, when the suffering and death of all her children are visioning ... It is immeasurable.
Meanwhile, and she is inferior to the unlimited depth of the sense of love to Christ, When the heart knew him, and looked to him.

If I have a gift of prophecy, and I know all the secrets, and I have any knowledge and all faith, so I can rearrange the mountains, but I have no love,- I am nothing. And if I distribute all the estate mine and I will give my body to be burned, but I do not have love,- There is no benefit. Love long-tierpit, merciful, love does not envy, love is not exalted, does not proud, it does not claim, not looking for his own, not annoying, does not think evil, it does not rejoice untrue, but so true; All covers, everything believes, everything hopes, everything tolerates.
