Holy Virgin Martyr Theodota

July 29

Reading:

Concerning Saint Theodota, little is known except that she was a virgin who was horribly tormented and slain for her confession of Christ.

Kontakion in the Fourth Tone

As a mother doth rejoice over her children, so is Theodota now filled with divine and boundless joy over the martyrdom she hath borne, which is her glory and comfort for evermore.
