Saint Theodosia the Virgo
Saint Theodosia came from the Tire of Phoenician and had not only a virgin body but also a virgin soul. From the age of 18, she shone for her zeal and warm faith, among the young idolatrous women.
This was denounced to the lord of Urban, who in every tempting way tried to persuade her to refuse Christ. But the Virgin Theodosia remained unmoved in her sanctuary I believe.
Seeing her unhappy perseverance, the Urban man was outraged and broke her bones in a savage way and saw her flesh. Then she approached her and suggested that she change, even at the last minute, and he would immediately heal her wounds. Theodosia half -dead replied: “I’m a Christian.” Then the tyrant commanded and threw her into the sea, and delivered her spirit.
