Life
For her unshakeable confession of the Christian faith she was cruelly tormented in Persia in the fourth century. The tormentors flogged her so severely with whips that she was exhausted and died. Her soul was separated from her tormented body and entered into the eternal joy of Christ the King and Lord.
