The legend says:
“…Tanya was born in a famous Roman family. Her father was a secret Christian and brought up his daughter a honest and noble girl. She believed in God. At the age of eighteen, Tanya didn’t get married and fully devoted herself to church, looked after sick people and helped the needy.
The Christians were forced to worship the Roman gods, threatened in cases of disobedience, with cruel torture and even death. Nobody was saved, and Tanya was captured. She was taken to the Apollo’s temple to be sacrificed for him.
All the time on the way to the temple Tanya was praying with passion and suddenly a miracle happened. The temple was destroyed by an earthquake. The statue of Apollo’s, the walls, everything was broken into pieces.
Tanya’s offenders didn’t pay attention to that sign and continued to torture her. God heard her prayers. Eight executioners had believed in God and asked Tanya to forgive them. They were tortured and put to death, and Saint Tanya was tortured again, but instead of blood from her wounds flowed milk, and in the air filled with a sweet smell.
The offenders persuaded her to sacrifice to the goddess Diana. When they came to the temple, she began to pray again. And suddenly there resounded a thunder-clap and the lightning incinerated the statue of the pagan deity, the offering and priests.
And Tanya’s wounds healed, and on the next day she was more beautiful than before.
On this day, she was taken to the circus to be eaten by lions, but the ferocious animal didn’t dare to rush the poor girl. The lion caressed and licked her legs instead.
The offenders were shocked, because they had tried to kill Tanya, made different attempts, but nothing turned succeeded.
She was still alive. Then the offenders threw her in the fire, but the fire couldn’t kill her, either.
When all the tortures came to an end, the executioner cut her head off…”.
It is a sad story.
