Saint Hope of Rome

Biography

According to hagiography, Saint Hope or Nadezhda (in Russian: Nadejda) is a 2nd-century child Christian martyr who is called Elpis in Greek. She was the daughter of Saint Sophia of Rome and the sister of Pistis (Faith) and Agape (Charity), the names of the three theological virtues. Formerly celebrated on August 1 with her sisters, following their inclusion in the Roman Martyrology, they were removed from the official liturgical calendar, but their veneration is still practiced, particularly in Eastern Europe and Russia.
