Saint Hopeis the daughter of the Roman Widow, Saint Wisdom/ Sofia and sister to Saint Faith and Saint Charity. Saint Hope suffered for Jesus along with her sisters and her mother. In the rule of Emperor Hadrian, Saint Hope (age 10) and her younger sister Saint Charity (age 9) were both unharmed when tossed into a furnace, so they were beheaded. Saint Hope's older sister Saint Faith (age 12) amazingly survived being scourged and tossed into a boiling pitch and was also (along with her sisters) beheaded. Saint Hope's mother suffered when she was praying over the bodies of her kids. The dates of their deaths are unknown and their grave beneath the church was (for a long time) a place of refuge for tourists.
