Holy Martyrs Pelagia and Theodosia

Sts. Pelagia and Theodosia (Feast Day - March 25)

Verses

Theodosia and Pelagia by the sword,
Found a sea of gifts from God the Word.

The Holy Martyrs Pelagia and Theodosia met their end by the sword.

They are probably to be identified with the group of martyrs mentioned in the Roman Martyrology for March 23rd, listed as Domitius, Pelagia, Aquila, Eparchius and Theodosia. They all died by the sword under Julian the Apostate in 361.
