St. Dorothy/Dorothea of Caesarea

St. Dorothy is a 4th century virgin martyr who was executed at Caesarea Mazaca. She’s called a martyr of the late Diocletianic Persecution. Although her death happened after the resignation of Diocletian himself.

Dorothea & her companion, Theophilus, are mentioned in the Roman Martyrology as martyrs of Caesarea in Cappadocia. Her feast day is on February 6. She’s officially recognized as a virgin martyr.

She was removed from the General Roman Calendar by Pope Paul VI’s motu proprio Mysterii Paschalis, being judged as not having “universal significance.” Her feast day does still remain in some regional calendars & the Tridentine Calendar.

Her early life is unknown. The first record of her, Martyrologium Hieronymianum, only has 3 basic facts: her day of martyrdom, the place where it happened, & her name & Theophilus’ name.

Dorothea of Caesarea, virgin & martyr, was persecuted during the persecution of Diocletian on February 6, 311 at Caesarea in Cappadocia. She was brought before the prefect Sapricius, tried, tortured, & sentenced to death. On the way to the place of execution, the pagan lawyer, Theophilus said, mockingly, “Bride of Christ, send me some fruits from your bridegroom’s garden.”

Before she was executed, she sent him, by a 6 year old boy, her headdress which was found to be filled with a heavenly fragrance of roses & fruits. Theophilus at once confessed himself a Christian, was put on the rack, & suffered death. This is the oldest version of the legend.

In the Western church, Dorothy of Caesarea has been venerated since the 7th century. In the late medieval Sweden, St. Dorothy was considered to be the 15th of the Holy Helpers.

In art, she’s accompanied with Saints Barbara, Catherine, & Margaret. They form a quartet of female virgin martyrs called Quattuor Virgines Capitales, meaning, “The Four Capital Virgins.”

She’s the patroness of gardeners. Because of her virginal attribute of a wreath of roses. On her feast day (February 6), trees are blessed. She’s also the patroness of brewers, brides, florists, midwives, newlyweds, & the village of Pescia, Italy. The Sisters of St. Dorothy is a congregation of sisters/nuns, who are occupied with teaching.

St. Dorothy is often pictured as a virgin carrying a basket of flowers, sometimes with fruit, & also wearing a crown of roses. She has also been pictured as being surrounded by stars as she kneels before an executioner; crowned with palm, referring to the martyr’s palm; in an enclosed garden or an orchard with the Christ Child in an apple tree; leading the Christ Child by the hand; veiled with flowers in her lap; & holding apples from Heaven.

Getting a memory for life at Tháp Hòa Phong, four favourable winds tower

Hoa Phong Tower, Tháp Hòa Phong, at the southeast end of Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi is where you spot current bridal fashion in Viet Nam.
The ladies here are already engaged, of course. But it is a happy spot flourishing with photographers, their assistants, equipment, and some very happy looking ladies in bridal costumes.
And some grooms-to-be, waiting to get ordered around by all the others.
They probably need this general rehearsal in preparation for their new life. directions.
Favourable winds for life ahead
The tower is the only remains of the Bao An pagoda-complex situated on this spot. This was in the historical centre of Old Hanoi.
Hoa Phong means 4-season favourable winds, the tower having four gates looking in four directions. No wonder this is considered a fortunate spot to start a marriage.

In this black and white photograph, we see Jacqueline Bouvier in a wedding dress. She is standing on what appears to be the upper landing of an ornate staircase with balusters that have been polished over time by generations' hands before her own. The bride has dark hair pulled back into a bun from which a delicate veil cascades gracefully down and around one ear, adding elegance to her appearance.

Her attire consists of a sleeveless gown adorned with pleats on the bodice creating an intricate texture against the fabric's smoothness elsewhere. A subtle train trails behind her as she leans over slightly towards a small urn holding what appears to be flowers or greenery - perhaps part of her bouquet, which is not fully visible in this shot.

She holds a white vase containing more plants with both hands close together at chest level; one can almost hear the gentle clinking sound it makes against another. Her fingers are adorned with rings and she wears bracelets on each wrist enhancing her bridal look further. She gazes downwards towards these items, smiling softly revealing joyous anticipation for what lies ahead.

The background is minimally detailed but adds to the overall ambiance - a white wall behind her that reflects light creating an ethereal glow around her figure, while other decorative elements in view provide context of opulence and tradition fittingly complementing this moment captured in time.
