What happened today?
Today, the Orthodox Church commemorates the 3rd century Nicodemian martyr Domna. She was a nun and a pagan in her youth, but over time she re-understood her life, believed in God and began to preach Christianity. When the persecution of the believers began, Domna made sure that the slain Christians were buried with honor. Later, martyrdom happened to Domna for her faith in Christ – she was killed by pagans.
