Life

Holy Martyr Domnina of Rome died around the year 66 and was the sister of the Holy Martyr Photina the Samaritan Woman. Together with other Christians she was brought to trial before Nero, at Rome.

In Rome the confessors firmly refused to renounce the Saviour and endured the most severe torments for confessing Christ. Nero, achieving nothing, ordered the martyrs to be put to death. Saint Domnina was beheaded.

She is commemorated on 2 April (new style), together with her sister Photina.
