    Regarding Saint Sophia. This is a very short account from resurch on the subject:
    There are evidently two Saint Sophia women. One was a woman who had three daughters: Faith, Hope, and Love in Italy, during Hadrian's reign (117-138). The Emperor heard of their steadfast faith and brought them --- Sophia and her daughters --- to him for interigation. He, evidently was trying to break their faith but couldn't so had them beheaded, including St Sophia.
    The other Saint Sophia is St. Sophia of Ainos --- the Mother of Orphans --- She married through an arranged marriage and had six children. She was very pious, but later her husband and children died from the palgue. She started taking care of orphans and widows in her home, and adopted 100 orphans. Even though she did all this she considered herself least of all in worth.
    The story goes on further but this is all I"ll post. I'd put the links to the sources I have but I think it would violate copywright laws.
    Hope this helps.

    i think there is more written about her by st Iranius of lynds that depicts the missing principle of christs teachings, that continue on with the seferoit system practiced by hebrew religions, but cast out after the four fathers of the catholic church, along with the missing genises chapters of enoch. safe journeys see you on the otherside
