- Holy Martyr Tatiana (~230)
- She was the daughter of a wealthy Roman consul. She
became a deaconess in Rome, and was seized as a Christian during the reign of
Alexander Severus. Before the tribunal she fearlessly confessed Christ and, when she
was taken to the temple in an effort to force her to make sacrifice, she cast down the
idols by the power of her prayer. At this, the soldiers seized her and subjected her to
many indignities and tortures, finally throwing her into a raging furnace. When this did
not harm her, she was thrown to the wild beasts, but they refused to harm her. At last
she was beheaded and thus gained her crown.
