Apolonia wa Aleksandria
Apolonia wa Aleksandria (alifariki 249 hivi) alikuwa mmojawapo katika kundi la mabikira wa Aleksandria, Misri waliofia dini yao wakati wa shambulio dhidi ya Wakristo lililotangulia dhuluma ya kaisari Decius.[1][2]
Baada ya kuteswa kikatili kwa kukataa maneno ya kukufuru alikubali kuchomwa moto akiwa hai ili asikane imani.
Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Wakatoliki, Waorthodoksi na Waorthodoksi wa Mashariki kama mtakatifu.
Sikukuu yake huadhimshwa tarehe 9 Februari[3].

Tanbihi
[hariri | hariri chanzo]- ↑ Eusebius of Caesarea, Historia Ecclesiae, I:vi: 41. After describing how a Christian man and woman, Metras and Quinta, were seized and killed by the mob, and how the houses of several other Christians were pillaged, Dionysius continues: "At that time Apollonia, parthénos presbytis (mostly likely meaning a deaconess) was held in high esteem. These men seized her also and by repeated blows broke all her teeth. They then erected outside the city gates a pile of soldiers and threatened to burn her alive if she refused to repeat after them impious words (either a blasphemy against Christ, or an invocation of the heathen gods). Given, at her own request, a little freedom, she sprang quickly into the fire and was burned to death". "St. Apollonia". Catholic Encyclopedia. Iliwekwa mnamo 21 Desemba 2017.
