DESCRIPTION:June 25th is the commemoration of the dukhrono of St. Febronia
  Martyr of Nisibis +304 according to the Liturgical Calendar of the Syriac
  Orthodox Church. She is also known as Febronia nun of Sebapte. \n\nMort F
 ebronia's biography was written by her fellow nun Thaumasia. She was born 
 in Ouryana in Mesopotamia. From the age of 2 she lived in the Convent wher
 e her paternal aunt Bryene was the abbess. The 50 nuns of the Convent ate 
 only once a day\, spending the rest of the time in prayer. However\, Febro
 nia was given a harsher regimen of a meal once every two days. She was not
  only highly intelligent\, humble & virtuous but very beautiful as well. I
 n her meekness\, she had never gazed on a man nor even a woman outside the
  Convent her whole life. \n\nThree generals of Emperor Diocletian namely S
 elenos\, Lysimachus & Primus arrived in Nisbis. They compelled all Christi
 ans to offer sacrifice to idols & threatened to murder those who defied th
 e orders. Soon all the Christians in town\, including the clergy & monks l
 eft their homes & fled. Febronia when she heard of their plans said\, “I
  have offered myself to Christ. Therefore\, I will not resort to flight. L
 et whatever God wills take place.”\n\nAll the nuns except abbess Bryene\
 , Thaumasia & Febronia fled the Convent. Bryene was especially worried as 
 Febronia was a beautiful maiden who just reached the age of 20. She feared
  her niece would be captured by the barbarians & forced into unlawful marr
 iage or worse. Thaumasia comforted her saying\, "He who can raise the dead
  can certainly strengthen Febronia & save her.” \n\nSelenos & Lysimachus
  had taken control of the city\, the soldiers seized a large number of Chr
 istian churches & threw the faithful into prisons. Some pagans informed th
 em about the convent. As soon as the soldiers entered\, they seized Bryene
  & drew their swords. Febronia then threw herself at the soldier’s feet\
 , “I plead you in the name of God\, kill me first so that I need not see
  my mistress’ death.” Primus informed Lysimachus that the three nuns w
 ere all that remained in the Convent\, telling him that he could of taken 
 Febronia as a wife. Lysimachus refused to harm a woman who is a nun\, as h
 e was sympathetic towards Christians (his deceased mother was a Christian)
 . \n\nHowever\, Selenos angrily dragged Febronia out of the Convent. Thaum
 asia dresses as a lay woman & secretly follows them. Selenos takes Febroni
 a to the middle of the city in front of a crowd & forces her to accept Lys
 imachus as her husband\, but she boldly refuses. Enraged\, Selenos orders 
 the soldiers to rip off her clothes & leave her naked to be shamed. They t
 hen begin to inflict brutal physical torture upon her. Iron nails are dug 
 into her body\, the wheels of a chariot run over her torso\, her teeth are
  smashed\, her tongue cut out\, her breasts hacked & her limbs chopped. At
  the end of this excruciating ordeal\, he finally ordered her to be behead
 ed\, thus Mort Febronia attained the crown of martyrdom. \n\nAs Selenos wa
 s leaving\, a wave of depression fell upon him & in a fit of madness he st
 ruck his head on the stone column killing himself. Lysimachus then exclaim
 ed\, "Great is Febronia's God: He has avenged her blood that was impiously
  shed." He arranged for Febronia's burial at the Convent\, & along with Pr
 imus got baptized after repenting of their sins. \n\nThe Metropolitan of N
 isbis decided to shift the remains of Febronia to a church built in her ho
 nor\, however when her coffin was opened an earthquake occurred. Fearing f
 urther calamities\, they took a single tooth as a relic. Later in A.D. 363
 \, her relics were shifted to Constantinople. A portion of her relics is k
 ept at St. Febronia Convent in Qamishli\, Syria. \n\nBiography courtesy of
 \, "Martyrs\, Saints and Prelates of the Syriac Orthodox Church" \n\nOh Mo
 rt Febronia! May we also remain pure & steadfast in the face of persecutio
 n like you did. On your feast day\, we pray for all the nuns (Dayroyotho) 
 of our Syriac Orthodox Church that the Lord bless them abundantly. Plead f
 or us before God's throne of grace. Amen.\n\nhttp://www.soc-wus.org/ourchu
