history of the holiday
This holiday, according to the surviving testimony of historians, originates in the second century after the Nativity of Christ. In those days, legend says, the widow Sophia lived in Italy and raised her three daughters Pistis, Elpis and Agape in the Christian faith. It must be said that the Christian faith had not yet become widespread, and its followers were oppressed and oppressed in every possible way by the pagans.
The Roman Emperor Hadrian, having learned from a denunciation about Sophia and her daughters, ordered them to be brought and converted to the pagan faith. But all the arguments were in vain - neither Sophia nor her daughters renounced their faith in Christ, and for this the emperor ordered the daughters to be executed in front of their mother.
Sophia's daughters, whose names were translated into Russian as Vera, Nadezhda and Lyubov, were beheaded, and three days later their mother Sophia died at their graves. Companions in faith buried Sophia's body next to her daughters, and Saint Sophia was honored to be glorified as a great martyr.
Name days of Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and Sofia
3:4
On September 30, all women with the names Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and Sophia celebrate their name days. On this day, it was customary to treat birthday girls with pies.
Birthday girls celebrated Angel Day for three whole days, glorifying maternal wisdom and feminine virtues.
It was believed that a girl born on this day has considerable wisdom and is able to create comfort in the house and bring prosperity.
On this day, it was customary for birthday girls to give incense and icons depicting Faith, Hope, Love or Sophia, and sweets.
They, in turn, were rewarded with pies.
Of course, they did not organize festive feasts, but they also did not refuse treats to those who congratulated women with the names Vera, Nadezhda, Lyubov and Sophia. 4:1787

We can no longer live without them.
There is faith, hope and love.
And today we will disturb them,
A set of letters, a set of words.
I wish everyone great faith,
Hopes too. From the heart.
Love calls us all with a song.
I congratulate everyone from the bottom of my heart.
Without Faith you will not achieve success,
And without Hope you will not receive bright blessings.
I didn’t experience Love - I drove into the deep darkness,
And the flag will not develop bright feelings.
Let this holiday unite us -
Love, Hope, Faith in a durable alloy.
Holy Mother Sophia inspires,
Having driven away the heavy torment.
Let a faithful friend lend his shoulder,
Let the family warm you with love,
Reliable and strong family.
May wisdom help you through all adversity
Overcome, and let through the days and years
Go ahead and bear no grudges!
On the day of Faith, Hope and Love,
Their mother Sophia,
Let me congratulate everyone from the bottom of my heart,
After all, they are glorified to this day.
Holy Virgins and Mother Sophia,
Didn't renounce the faith
Since then people began to revere them,
And they were just an example.
We wish you not to lose faith in your soul,
And reach for the truth,
We wish you not to be leveled by flares,
Just fight for the truth.
Today is a very sensitive holiday -
Affects all aspects of life!
A person walks through life with faith,
And without love he cannot sleep.
He constantly hopes for something,
And in everyone’s life let
Guardian angel will help a little,
So that a person does not retreat from the right path!
Let every day be filled with fear,
But Mother Sophia does not give up;
And her daughters (there are three of them) -
They are good entities.
Hope, Faith and Love -
They protect throughout life;
And if there is joy in the soul -
They are with you.
Sophia - wisdom. From this
There is strength in the life of generations;
Her triplets daughters
Will help you avoid worries.
And it’s worth honoring the holy day,
So that daughters and mother Sophia
They never tired of protecting us,
Giving good joys.
I believe you today
And I hope for reciprocity
And I dare to confess my love,
This is so obvious.
Because mother Sophia
She advised me:
Everything we were missing
Enough from now on!
They tried to force you to betray
Your faith and memory of your fathers,
And they forced the mournful mother
Observe without removing the shackles,
How her children are killed
Like native blood flows into the earth,
But her faith did not waver,
Love for God has not diminished.
Every time I hear a story
About three girls, their names
I see gold in the sky
The stars are their clear gaze forever.
They seem to be telling us this:
No matter how great your temptation
To sin - respect the Father,
The one who died in agony for you.
Remember us, of course,
And Sophia, the great mother,
Our example, let it teach you
Don't be afraid and don't betray.
On the day of eternal memory of the bright martyrs,
I really want to say to all Christians,
What if faith remains strong in the heart,
There will be kindness and grace in the world.
Forget about unnecessary sins,
After all, our days are very fleeting.
Let respect for each other grow
And life passes in happiness and love.
The mother taught her diligent daughters,
So that they are modest and hardworking.
After all, only work for the benefit of all people
Makes a Christian happy.
But the enemy said to her: virgin, renounce
And make your daughters refuse,
You better pray to Artemis,
And renounce Christianity forever.
He begged and then threatened
But Sofia wasn’t scared,
Then the enemy ordered to torture the children,
Pure, holy tears were shed.
The vile enemy beheaded his daughters,
But outwardly the mother did not shudder at all,
But the enemy trembled, he gave her bodies,
Sofia took them and did not waver.
She betrayed her loved ones to the land,
She taught them nothing bad
I didn’t persuade them to betrayal with a prayer,
And she didn’t sell Christ for children.
Day of Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sofia: short sms congratulations:
I wish that Faith, Hope, Love
Your destiny was not abandoned.
May these saints help you again,
So that the stars illuminate the path.
You cannot live without Hope in the world,
And life without Love will become gray.
The most tender and beautiful
Today the holiday has arrived:
I want a white-winged angel
He gave happiness to Nadezhda.
I want you to always laugh
The world without your smiles is empty.
So that you never get upset,
I forgot what sadness is!
Faith, Hope and Love are the three pillars on which our world rests. I wish you that these girls will always accompany you in life. And they did it together because without Faith there is no Hope, and without Hope and Faith there is no Love. Let Sophia tell her girls about it. what a good person you are!
I wish that in your life there will always be four holy names, four...
The story that formed the basis of the holiday took place many centuries ago - in the second century after the Nativity of Christ, when Emperor Hadrian ruled in Rome. In the capital of the Roman Empire lived the pious widow Sophia (the name Sophia means wisdom). She had three daughters who bore the names of the main Christian virtues: Faith, Hope and Love. Being a deeply religious Christian, Sophia raised her daughters in the love of God, teaching them not to become attached to earthly goods.
It must be said that the Christian faith was not welcomed in Rome and rumors about a family of Christians reached the emperor. First, with persuasion, and then with threats, he tried to force Sophia and her daughters to renounce their faith in Jesus Christ. But the Christian faith in the girls and their mother was unshakable.
The emperor, who was not used to commoners disobeying his orders, ordered the children to be subjected to severe torture. However, the power of faith in the Lord was such that neither fire nor boiling tar could harm the holy family. And then Adrian in...
The Day of the Holy Martyrs Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia is an Orthodox Christian holiday that appeared in memory of the holy martyrs who lived in Rome in the second century AD. Celebrated annually on September 30th.
According to legend, in 137, the Roman Emperor Hadrian heard rumors about a widow named Sophia and her children, who professed the Christian faith in pagan Rome and did not deny it. Pious Sophia (from the Greek “Wisdom”), despite the pagan environment, raised her daughters Faith, Hope and Love in Christian virtues. Having learned about this, Emperor Hadrian ordered the family to be taken to a pagan mentor, who was supposed to convince them to change their faith. However, the pagan’s admonitions were in vain. Then the emperor personally demanded that they renounce the Crucified One and sacrifice to the great goddess Artemis. The girls refused to obey the order of the emperor and then the angry ruler ordered the young Christian girls to be subjected to torture, from which they suffered martyrdom...

Married women bought three candles. Two of them were placed in the temple in front of the icon of Christ. The latter, at the onset of midnight, was inserted into a loaf and words about peace and well-being in the family were read 40 times without stopping. In the morning, women fed their family with this loaf.

Faith, Hope and Love are names that do not require translation. These names are the names of the three virtues that everyone strives for Orthodox Christian. And it is not surprising that they became so firmly established in the Russian “Saints”, and Russian girls began to be willingly named after the holy virgins born in Italy.
The holy martyrs Faith, Hope and Love were born in Italy. Saint Sophia openly confessed Christ and taught this to her three daughters, who were still just girls. Of course, she was reported. Emperor Andrian ordered Christian women to be brought to him in Rome. Saint Sophia understood why and began in prayer to ask the Lord for strength to endure suffering for herself and her daughters. According to legend, the holy maidens were tortured mercilessly: they were burned on an iron grate, thrown into a red-hot oven and into a cauldron with boiling resin, but they miraculously remained alive. The youngest, Lyubov, was tied to a wheel and beaten with sticks until her body turned into a continuous bloody wound. Enduring torment beyond human understanding, the girls constantly prayed and cried out to God; while still very young - Vera was twelve years old, Nadezhda was ten, Lyubov was nine - they bravely endured the most sophisticated tortures. The mother was forced to watch her daughters suffer. She also watched how they were beheaded...
She was allowed to bury her daughters. For three days the mother sat at her family’s graves and here she gave up her soul to the Lord. They buried her nearby.
Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia are one of the many thousands of holy people glorified by the Church precisely for their determination to be with God to the end, overcoming the fear of suffering and death.
Thus, three girls and their mother showed that for people strengthened by the grace of the Holy Spirit, lack of bodily strength does not in the least serve as an obstacle to the manifestation of fortitude and courage. With their holy prayers, may the Lord strengthen us in the Christian faith and in a virtuous life!
Faith, Hope, Love, Knowledge - the material world consists of four types of eternal entities: earth, water, air, light. The divine world also consists of four types: faith, hope, love and knowledge.
Their correspondence with each other is as follows: the earth is the faith in which we have taken root; water is the hope we feed on; air is love, thanks to which we grow; light is the knowledge through which we mature.
On the name day “Faith, Hope, Love”, do not forget to congratulate your loved ones and friends on their name day.

Over time, only illuminating the path,
