The Saint martyr Fotiniya (Svetlana) was that samaryanka to which Christ Redeemer at Iakovlev's well talked. At the time of the emperor Neron in Rome, in the 65th year, shown extreme cruelty in fight against Christianity, Saint Fotiniya lived with children in Carthage and there fearlessly preached the Gospel. Rumors about the Christian and her children have reached Neron, he has ordered to bring them on court into Rome. In Rome the emperor has asked them whether really they believe in Christ?
All Christians have resolutely refused to renounce Christ Redeemer. Then Neron has subjected them to awful tortures, but none of martyrs have renounced Christ. In powerless rage Neron has ordered to rip skin off Saint Fotiniya and to throw the martyr into a well. The emperor has ordered to behead the others. Saint Fotiniya was pulled out from a well and concluded in a dungeon for twenty days. Then Neron has called her for himself and has asked whether she will obey now and whether will make a sacrifice to idols? Saint Fotiniya has spat to the emperor in a face and, having laughed, has refused. Not Ron ordered to throw the martyr again into a well where she has betrayed the spirit to the Lord. Together with her both of her sons, sisters and the martyr Domnina have suffered for Christ.
