Got her name in honor of the passion of Christ (which is Friday). It is believed that she was a healer of many diseases, including fever.

Locked up SaviorA classic iconography scenario where Jesus Christ is depicted in the dungeon while waiting for the execution. In this case as a reference to self-isolation.
Simeon Verkhotursky
His worship day (December 31, N.S.) meets the date when the Chinese authorities declared the atypical pneumonia outbreak. Which was later named as Covid-19.
