About the Author

Dear Friend,

Are you familiar with the holy martyrs Faith, Hope, Love, and their mother Sophia?

We celebrate their feast day is today, September 30.

They lived in Rome in the 2nd century. When Sophia was left a widow, she devoted her life to raising her three daughters, naming them Faith, Hope, and Love (in Russian: Vera, Nadezhda, and Lyubov - the most important virtues in Christianity) and teaching them, above all things, to love God.

Learning of this family, the evil Emperor Hadrian ordered that they be brought to Rome and put on trial. The young mother and her daughters appeared before the ruler and openly confessed their faith in Christ the Savior.

The emperor threatened them with death to renounce their Christian faith.
