Life
These three holy women suffered for the Lord. Pelagia and Theodosia after imprisonment and torments were beheaded together by the sword. And holy Dula, who was a servant girl, suffered alone and ended her life in the city of Nicomedia. Three white roses, watered by martyr's blood, were transplanted by God into His heavenly garden.
