Anatolia of Rome

Holy Martyr Anatolia of Rome was the sister of Holy Martyr Photina the Samaritan. She was brought with other Christians to the judgment of Emperor Nero, at Rome. The confessors resolutely refused to deny the Saviour and endured the most terrible torments for the confession of faith in Christ. Achieving nothing, Nero ordered the martyrs executed. Saint Anatolia was beheaded. She is commemorated on 2 April.
