Life
A young widow with three children. In Thessalonica, together with St. Anastasia (December 22), Theodotia labored in the work of God, wholly devoted to the pious life. In the time of the persecution of Diocletian she was condemned to death and, together with her children, was cast into a fiery furnace. Their holy souls soared to their heavenly homeland.
