Sultana Mahdokht
Sultana Mahdokht (d. January 12, 319) means "Princess Daughter of the Moon" when translated to English from Persian. Together with her brothers, Adorfrowa and Mehrnarsa, Sultana is a canonized Saint in the Church of the East and the Chaldean Catholic Church. She was the daughter of Pholar, the Prince of Dorsas. Sultana and her brothers apostatized from Zoroastrianism at a time when apostasy was punished by death under Shapur II. Sultana and her two brothers were all martyred on January 12, 319 A.D.. The Church of the East as well as the Chaldean Catholic Church commemorate their Feast Day On January 12 every year. She is also the Patron Saint of the Assyrian village Araden, which is located in northern Iraq. A church that was built in the 4th century, which is still standing today, bears her name. It is a pilgrimage site for many Syriac Christians.
