Theopista

Saint Theopista, born in Rome around the year 100, is remembered by the Church as a saint whose life belongs to the earliest generations of Christian witness. Though few details of her earthly story have come down to us, her name endures as a sign of faithful perseverance in a time close to the Church’s beginnings. She died about 120, leaving behind a quiet legacy of devotion that continues to inspire prayer and trust in God. Saint Theopista is honored in a special way as the patron of Monsampolo del Tronto, where the faithful look to her intercession with gratitude. Her feast is celebrated on September 20, inviting believers to remember that holiness is often hidden, yet never forgotten by the Lord.
