She is a martyr from the last great persecution during the reign of Diocletian, in which many saints were martyred. After being tested for her faith and tortured, Dorothea was sentenced to death for converting two female jailers. On the way to the execution ground, Theophilus, a non-Christian lawyer, mocked Dorothea, saying, "Bride of Christ, bring me some fruit from your bridegroom's garden." At that moment, a six-year-old boy appeared before Dorothea and sent her fruit and heavenly roses. Dorothea sent the fruit and roses to Theophilus. Theophilus became a Christian through this one miracle and is said to have been martyred on the rack.
