Saint Sophia and her three daughters

Saint Sophia (whose name means "wisdom")  was a widow with three daughters, the Saints Faith, Hope and Love (or Charity) in the Roman Empire under the Emperor Hadrian. They were devout Christians during a time of intense persecution of the Christian faith. They were taken to the emperor, who demanded that Saints Faith, Hope and Love sacrifice to the pagan goddess Artemis. When they refused, they were tortured and killed. Saint Sophia herself died soon after burying her daughters. These saints are celebrated for their martyrdom and devotion to Christ, personifying the virtues they are named after: wisdom, faith, hope and love. The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion.
