St. Sophia

Very little is known about St. Sophia, only that she lived in Egypt in the third century. She became a martyr in Alexandria when she was beheaded during the reign of Emperor Claudinus (or Claudius). Those who perished with her included St. Irene and St. Castor. Her feast day is celebrated on September 18th. She is not to be confused with St. Sofia of Rome, widow and mother of Sts. Faith, Hope and Love who were martyred in Rome in the second century.
