Ten-year-old Nadezhda, along with her sisters Vera and Lyubov and her mother Sophia, lived in Rome in the 2nd century. At this time, an active struggle against Christianity was carried out in the city. All believers were persecuted and forced to renounce their beliefs. Otherwise, they were executed by martyrdom. The same fate befell the widow Sophia and her daughters.
Emperor Adrian, who ruled at that time in Rome, ordered the woman and children to be brought to him and personally conducted a conversation with the girls. But he failed to get them to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ. For this, he subjected Faith, Hope and Love to martyrdom in front of his mother, and then gave her the decapitated bodies of the children. Sophia buried the girls on the hill, and she remained sitting near their graves. On the third day she died.
On this day, Nadezhda's name day is celebrated. It is on September 30 that the Christian Church remembers the holy Roman martyrs.
