- Saints Faith, Hope and Charity (Latin: Fides, Spes et Caritas, New Testament Greek: Πίστις, Ἐλπὶς καὶ Ἀγάπη, Church Slavonic: Вѣра, Надежда, Любы are a group of Christian martyred saints. Their mother is said to have been Sophia; Sapientia is also mentioned in some accounts, though not as their mother. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, these were, in fact, two groups bearing the same names. The names are also the words designating the three key Christian virtues mentioned in Apostle Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians . In the Eastern Orthodox Church the feast of these saints is kept on 17 September. Although earlier editions of the Roman Martyrology commemorated Saints Faith, Hope and Charity on 1 August and their mother Sophia on 30 September, the present text of this official but professedly incomplete catalogue of saints of the Roman Catholic Church has no feast dedicated to the three saints or their mother: the only Sophia included is an early Christian virgin martyr of Picenum in Italy, commemorated with her companion Vissia on 12 April; another early Christian martyr, Saint Faith, of Aquitania, is celebrated on 6 October, a Saint Hope, an abbot of Nursia who died in about 517, is commemorated on 23 May, and no saint Charity is included, although saints with somewhat similar names, Carissa and Carissima, are given, respectively under 16 April and 7 September. Accurate historical data about the saints is minimal. The cult is very ancient, and the names are found not only in the various early martyrologies of the Western Church, but also in the Menaia and Menologies of the Ancient Greeks. In the preserved documents, there are two groups of references. On the one hand, they mention a band of martyrs, mother and daughters, whose names are always given in Greek, and who are buried on the Aurelian Way. On the other hand, the documents speak of four martyrs, interred on the Via Appia, whose relationship is not indicated and whose names, though the same as those of the martyrs of the Aurelian Way, are yet always given in Latin. This can be interpreted as pointing to distinct groups. Setting aside the clearly legendary accounts that have come down to us, the stories go as follows. In the reign of Roman Emperor Hadrian, a matron Sophia, with her three youthful daughters, Pistis, Elpis, and Agape, became Catholic martyrs, and all three were interred on the Aurelian Way. Their tomb in a crypt beneath the church afterwards erected to Saint Pancratius was long a place of resort for pilgrims, as detailed in various documents of the seventh century, such as an Itinerarium still preserved at Salzburg, the list, preserved in the cathedral archives of Monza, of the oils gathered from the tombs of the martyrs and sent to Queen Theodelinda in the time of Gregory the Great, etc. Later surely than the reign of Hadrian, but at what time is uncertain, a presumably separate band of martyrs, Sapientia and her three companions, Spes, Fides and Caritas, suffered death and were buried near the tomb of St Cecilia in the cemetery of St. Callistus on the Appian Way. The coincidence in names can be explained by the fact that the early Christians often took in baptism mystical names indicative of Christian virtues, etc. Thus Sophia, Sapientia, Fides and the like are common names in early Christian inscriptions and martyrologies.
- Santas Fe (en griego Πίστις, 12 años de edad), Esperanza (Ἐλπίς, 10 años), Caridad (Ἀγάπη, 9 años) y su madre Sofía (Σοφία) eran cristianas que vivieron en Roma en el siglo II y fueron martirizadas por orden del imperador Adriano. Las chicas murieron de torturas, y su madre poco después, al sepultarlas. Sus nombres coinciden con las tres virtudes teologales o sobrenaturales: la fe, la esperanza y la caridad. El nombre Sofía se traduce del griego como "sabiduría", y en su honor entre 532 y 537 se construyó en Constantinopla la catedral de Hagia Sophia (en griego Άγια Σοφία - Divina Sabiduría), el templo cristiano más grande hasta 1590, año en que se terminó la cúpula de la Basílica de San Pedro en Roma. La capital de Bulgaria también lleva su nombre, y el día de la ciudad se celebra el día de veneración de santa Sofía.
- Pistis, Elpis ja Agape olivat 2. vuosisadalla Roomassa eläneitä ja uskonsa tähden kidutettuja marttyyreja. Pistis oli iältään 12 vuotta, Elpis 10 ja Agape 9 vuotta, kun heitä keisari Hadrianuksen aikana kidutettiin julmalla tavalla ja lopuksi mestattiin. Myös heidän äitinsä Sofia, joka ei varsinaisesti kokenut fyysistä kidutusta on korotettu kristinuskossa marttyriuteen. Slaavilaisessa perinteessa nämä nimet ovat muodossa Veera, Nadežda ja Ljubov ja Suomessa käytetään nimiä Usko, Toivo ja Lempi. Ortodoksinen kirkko muistelee näitä marttyyreja vuosittain syyskuun 17. päivänä. Helsingin Hämeentiellä olevassa vanhainkoti Helenassa on näiden neljän marttyyrin muistolle pyhitetty kirkko vanhainkodin asukkaita varten.
