Life
The 200 Martyrs are remembered on 10 October. They were the Christians of Nicomedia who, in the persecution of Maximian (286-305), fled to the mountains to escape death. After the arrest of Saint Eulampius (who is remembered on the same day together with Saint Eulampia), they were seized as well and were all put to the sword together with Eulampius.
