Grant, O Lord, we beseech thee, that we who keep the feast of the holy martyrs Blandina and her companions may be rooted and grounded in love of thee, and may endure the sufferings of this life for the glory that shall be revealed in us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Little is known about Blandina's background or how she became enslaved, but she likely converted through her owner's influence. When her owner was arrested with other prominent Christians, Blandina was also brought in for questioning. pic.twitter.com/m4z3wRWuHx
