Who is this?
Tatiana lived in Rome at the very beginning of the third century. The ruler of the empire at that time was Marcus Aurelius Sever Alexander. Briefly, the emperor is called Alexander Severus. He was not loyal to the Christians, however, like many other rulers of Rome.
The future saint was born in a very respected, noble family. Her father was honored three times to serve the people of Rome with the rank of consul. However, like many other citizens of the empire, her parents did not worship pagan gods, but professed Christianity.
Tatiana's martyrdom is reminiscent of a fantasy novel. First, she, like all Christians who were arrested, was brought to the nearest pagan temple and offered to bowidol statue. However, the future saint offered up a prayer to the Lord, and immediately an earthquake began. Then Tatyana was tortured, but the traces of injuries disappeared from the body literally before the eyes of the astonished executioners. Even the lion did not harm the martyr. It is not surprising that the guards and executioners themselves believed in the Lord, instead of forcing the future saint to renounce Christ.
But these miracles were not enough to save both Tatyana herself and her father, as well as the new converts. Their heads were cut off.
