Today, Monday, January 30, the Catholic Church pays homage to Saint Dorothy of Cappadocia.
In the fourth century, Santa Dorotea de Cesárea, as she was also known, suffered humiliation and torture for her Christian faith.
In their attempt to resign, the sisters Crista and Calixta were sent to encourage their repentance, but they also ended up converts to Christianity.
Before being martyred, Santa Dorotea met Teófilo, little believer in God. It was Teófilo who asked him for three apples and three roses from the Lord's garden to believe in him.
After Santa Dorotea died, and following her prayers, a child appeared to Teófilo giving him flowers and food. So Theophilus converted to Christianity.
The Catholic saints are the group of people recognized by the Church as saints or blessed on a specific date. The Roman Martyrology is the document that names and distributes in the calendar the almost 7,000 saints and blessed recognized by the Church.
The saints and saints are prominent men and women in the various religious traditions for their special relationships with the divinities or for a particular ethical elevation. While the consideration of blessed constitutes the third step on the path to canonization.
Today's saints day, February 6, also celebrates the following saint's days:
