It seems as if there are at least 2 St. Zoe's.
Both early Romans, this one was a slave during the time of the Emperor Hadrian.
The other St. Zoe was a Roman noblewoman under the Emperor Diocletian. She was mute for 6 years and was healed by St. Sebastian. She had a great devotion to St. Peter.
Both were martyred.
The word Zoe means life in ancient Greek.
why was she the patron saint of life?
