Photis of Rome

Holy Martyr Photis of Rome died around the year 66, sister of the holy martyr Photina the Samaritan woman. Together with other Christians she was brought to the judgment of Nero at Rome.

At Rome the confessors resolutely refused to renounce the Saviour and endured the cruellest torments for the confession of faith in Christ. Able to achieve nothing, Nero ordered the martyrs put to death. Saint Photis was beheaded with the sword. Her commemoration is on 2 April.
