St. Dorothy, Virgin, Martyr (288 AC) Feast Day: February 6th

St. Dorothy was martyred in 288 by Fabricius. Because he lusted for Dorothy and desired to inherit her fortune, he attempted to marry her. However, Dorothy dedicated herself to God, denying him several times. Fabritius sought an opportunity for vengeance. Around the time of Emperor Diocletian, Fabricius brought Dorothea to his judgment to make her renounce God and sacrifice to idols. She responded, "My name is Dorothea, and I am a Christian; the true God and Lord forbids me to sacrifice someone other than him alone. Tell me, O Fabricius, if two command the opposite, an earthly ruler and a heavenly ruler, whom should I obey, the immortal God or a man?" Fabricius replied: "Don't be foolish, obey, sacrifice to the gods, where not, then you shall feel terrible torment!" Dorothea: "I fear only God, but not the torments you threaten me; these are easy and soon over, but the torments of hell are severe and eternal."

After he ordered her to be tortured with rods and whips, she remained steadfast, eager to be with God. She was thrown into the dungeon but miraculously healed there. Then, he tried to change Dorothy's mind through flattery. Unsuccessful still, he handed Dorothy over to two sisters, Christina, and Kallista, who denied Jesus and vowed to make Dorothy follow in their footsteps. However, Dorothy convinced them to join her in martyrdom. Crying at her feet, they publicly asked for her intercession and swore to die as Christians. Fabricius summoned the sisters, hoping to hear that Dorothy changed her mind, only for them to say, "We sinned because we fell away from the Christian faith; Dorothea led us to knowledge and repentance; we revoke our apostasy and want to belong to the Christian faith from now on." Enraged, the tyrant threatened them with cruel tortures, but the sisters remained steadfast in their vows and were lowered and burned in a cauldron. At their last moment, Dorothea shouted to them: "Go ahead! Your case is forgiven by God! You have found the already lost torture crown again. The merciful Father, who received the prodigal Son, will receive you with joy." At that time, Dorothy had already been through a series of tortures, being stretched and burned with torches. She gave no indication of her torment, keeping a smile and heavenly joy. The tyrant asked her: "Why are you happy amid torment and torment?" The Virgin answered him: "Never before have I had such joy in my life because I snatched the souls of my sisters from the fraudulent enemy and won them back for the Christian faith. Lieutenant, do not hesitate to complete me too to come into their company because I have long longed to come to my beloved, in whose garden I will pick roses and apples and feast with him forever." Frustrated by Dorothy, he sentenced her to death. Hearing the verdict, she exclaimed loudly, "My Lord and my God!... groom of my soul, thank you for honoring me for paradise and your blessed community." As she was led to her execution, a writer named Theophilus approached her mockingly, saying, "Listen, you bride of Christ! Send me some apples or roses from your lover's garden." Then, with holy seriousness, the Virgin said to him: "Your desire will be fulfilled. Don't doubt I'll send you roses and apples." Arriving at her execution place, she threw herself on her knees and prayed. Suddenly a heavenly boy was standing in front of her, who offered her three apples and three roses. Dear brother, said Dorothea, bring this gift to the young man Theophilus and tell him: Dorothea sends you these fruits and flowers from the garden of her heavenly groom. After these words, she was killed. Meanwhile, Theophilus laughed to tell his friends what he wanted from Dorothea and what she promised him. He was standing at the window when suddenly a boy stepped in front of him, took him aside, and said: "My sister Dorothea sends you these apples and roses from her lover's garden. When he spoke such things, he disappeared. Amazed at the beauty of the fruits and flowers that he held in his hands, even though it was wintertime, he exclaimed, enlightened by the divine light: "Surely, there is no other god but the God of Christians. Faith in Christ is not a deception. I want to worship him alone now, serve him alone." When the governor got word, he had the newly converted called before him, and since he could not dissuade him from faith in Christ by any threat, he was tortured, burned with torches, and beheaded. Dorothea is depicted in virgin garb, with roses and fruits next to her. On the 6th of February, her name is listed in the old martyrologies attributed to St. Jerome.
