Syra of Alexandroscene
Young Woman Phoenician from Alexandroscene. Her bWaterté attracts the looks of the garrison soldiers[1], unless it is a homonymy. She becomes widow of Zeno although she is little more than a child. Dying, Zeno believed in the power of Jesus whom he had heard preach. Sira is also one of his faithful and she comes to Jerusalem:
- "I love you. That is why I left Alexandroscene, because I thought I would hear you again and... that I would learn to accept my pain..."
She weeps.
- "Do not weep, O Sira. Your husband is not dead, but he lives. He is not lost to you, but only separated from you for a time. Raise your spirit, and see, with justice and truth. God has loved you by saving your husband from the danger that the works of the world ruin his faith in Me."[2]
