(The Sixth Day of the Blessed Month of Tute)

 

The Martyrdom of Saint Basilissa

On this day also, St. Basilissa was martyred in the days of Diocletian the infidel. This saint was a pious Christian, and she was only nine years old. They seized her and bound her hands and feet and cast her in the fire, but she was not burned by the might of God. Through her prayers, God sprung water, she drank, then committed her soul in the hand of God.

Her prayers be with us all, and Glory be to our God forever. Amen.
