Saints celebrated on the 15th of May
SAINT SOPHIA OF ROME, MARTYR
Saint Sophia is one of the Ice Saints, and the only lady among these. For this reason, she is occasionally referred to as the "Cold Sophia".
"COLD SOPHIA"
This martyr saint must not be confused with St Sophia of Milano. These two saints did live in different places, and also at different times in history.
SHE WAS MARTYRED FOR THE CHRISTIAN FAITH
St Sophia died in A.D. 305 during the Diocletian persecution. At Rome, she suffered martyrdom for her Christian faith. Her relics have been transferred to the church San Marino ai Monti.
