St. Sophia School: Fountain That Showers the Rays of Knowledge

On a comparative basis, the characteristics of women and of a land are the same in that they both possess the quality of fertility and most importantly both beautify our lives with best gifts of God and in return ask for nothing. Every mother is the best mother To a child, every mother is the best because it is in her that the child finds every relation and sees the world through her eyes. While talking about mothers, the name of St. Sophia comes foremost in everyone’s mind. Sophia symbolizes motherhood in the purest sense, purifying the role all mothers play in the daily framework of raising a family, elevating the mothers of the world to a sacred level in the eyes of God and giving them their due recognition in the divine plan of the world.

Sophia was a saintly woman who was married with an honest man and became the mother of six blessed children. An ardent believer of Jesus Christ, Sophia was quite happy in her life. It was in her thirty-fourth year, when her happiness knew no bounds that her greatest joy turned into stark tragedy. A plague swept over her land and she watched helplessly the death of all her children, one after another. In that pestilence, she lost all her loved ones including her husband. Sophia’s Christian belief asserted itself, reminding her that there was much she could do for the people in need. She dedicated her empty house and her life thereafter to be a total commitment to the glory of the Savior.

Named after St. Sophia, the lady who filled the world with her love and faith, St. Sophia School in Kirti Nagar, Delhi, was established to enlighten the lives of children by the spread of education.
