Asclepiodote

Holy Martyr Asclepiodote came from Marcianopolis in Thrace and suffered together with Maximus and Theodotus. Because they confessed their faith in Christ, they were first scourged, then their hands and feet were cut off, they were imprisoned and finally beheaded. She is commemorated on 17 September, in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), together with the martyrs Agathoclia, Elias, Lucia and Geminianus.
