Saint Apollonia of Alexandria Short life History
Saint Apollonia of Alexandria is a consecrated virgin and Deaconess. During an anti-Christian uprising in Alexandria, Egypt caused by a pagan prophecy, the mob seized Apollonia as a leader among the local Christians. After her teeth were broken with pincers, she was given the choice of renouncing Christ or being burned alive; she lept onto the fire herself. She is a Martyr.
