Память святых мучениц Василиссы и Анастасии

Enlightened by the Christian faith by the holy apostles Peter and Paul, saints Vasilisa and Anastasia dedicated themselves to serving the Lord, burying the bodies of the holy martyrs killed for Christ. When Emperor Nero 2571 was informed about them, then, by his command, they were taken by soldiers and imprisoned. After that, they accepted many torments for Christ: they were beaten without mercy, whittled with iron, burned with candles, but they remained firm and unyielding in the Christian faith. Finally, their heads were truncated 2572, after which they departed to the Lord to appear before Him in heaven in the host of other holy martyrs and martyrs. Roman Emperor Nero, a cruel persecutor of Christianity, reigned from 54 to 68 The death of the holy martyrs followed in the second half of the 1st century. Their relics rest in Rome, in a church built in honor of the Mother of God, the Pacifier. You might be interested in:
