Holy martyrs Faith, Hope and Charity, and their mother, Sophia. Novodevichy Convent, 1685.

Our Sister Hope celebrates her Name Day today in honor of St. Hope, one of three young sisters martyred. Sadly, we do not know much of St. Hope and her companions, St. Faith and St. Charity.

However, their legacy is a strong one in the Church, designating three important Christian values mentioned in Apostle Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians.
