St. '''Drosis''', the daughter of the Roman Emperor Trajan Commemorated is commemorated on [[March 22]].
According to Orthodox Christian ecclesiastical traditions St. Drosis was the daughter of the Emperor Trajan (98-117 AD). In 99 AD Trajan revived a decree prohibiting secret gatherings which was in truth a ruse to prohibit Christian rituals. In 104, a special law was issued against those who believed in Christ and who denied obedience to imperial idols.
After praying in this manner, St. Drosis anointed herself with chrism she had taken along with her, and after immersing herself in water three times, she said: “the servant of God Drosis is baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” For seven days the saint hid, fasting and praying. Christians found her and told them her story. On the eighth day, the holy Martyr Drosis went to the scorching ovens and cast herself into the fire.
