Martyr
Triphina
A woman martyr of the early Church, commemorated in the Western calendars.
Life
Saint Triphina is commemorated in the Western calendars as the mother of Saint Tremorus, the child martyr. After her son was murdered, in the sixth century, she spent the last years of her life in a convent in Brittany.
A Breton tradition tells that Tremorus was baptized by his mother against the will of his stepfather, Count Conmore, and that the count killed him while he was being educated at a monastery in Carhaix. Triphina is therefore not a martyr herself but a mother and nun, made known by her sorrows.
She is commemorated on 5 July as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
