Byzantine Saints: Martyr Photini the Samaritan Woman, her sons, and those with them (20 March)

About this sermon

Discover the powerful and inspiring story of St. Photini (the Samaritan Woman at the Well), commemorated on March 20. After encountering Christ in John 4, she became a fearless evangelist, preaching the Gospel even under the brutal persecution of Emperor Nero. In this video, we explore her transformation, her sons Victor (Photinos) and Joses, her sisters, and the many miracles that accompanied their witness. Despite torture, imprisonment, and unimaginable suffering, St. Photini and her companions remained steadfast in Christ—converting many, including Nero’s own household. 🔥 Witness: Miraculous healings and conversions The courage of early Christian martyrs The triumph of faith over tyranny St. Photini’s story reminds us that one encounter with Christ can change everything—and give us the strength to endure anything. 🙏 Saint Photini, pray for us! 0:00 – Introduction 0:26 – Who Was St. Photini? 0:43 – The Samaritan Woman at the Well (John 4) 0:52 – Preaching in Carthage 0:59 – Her Son Victor (Photinos) in the Roman Army 1:07 – Nero’s Command & Christian Persecution 1:15 – Sebastian’s Warning 1:32 – Miraculous Healing & Conversion of Sebastian 2:01 – Baptisms and Growing Faith 2:17 – Christ Appears to the Martyrs 2:25 – Victor Renamed Photinos 2:34 – Journey to Rome 2:50 – Refusal to Deny Christ 2:59 – Tortures Begin 3:06 – Imprisonment and Miracles 3:22 – Conversion of Nero’s Daughter Domnina 3:40 – Prison Transformed by Grace 3:48 – Crucifixion and Angelic Healing 4:12 – Conversion of Soldiers 4:20 – Brutal Martyrdom of St. Photini 4:36 – Martyrdom of Her Sisters 5:00 – Final Trial Before Nero 5:15 – St. Photini Rebukes Nero 5:31 – Her Holy Martyrdom https://www.oca.org/saints/lives 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
