Sophia was the legendary mother of the virgin martyrs Faith, Hope, and Charity.
Roman authorities took Sophia prisoner for being a Christian and told her to renounce her Christianity or they would kill her young daughters. One by one she witnessed her children being killed but she refused to renounce her faith. Three days after the murder of her daughters early in the second century, Sophia passed peacefully away while praying by their tomb. She died of a broken heart. As her name means wisdom, and her offspring are named for virtues, some writers believer she is a personification of an allegory.
