Barsima

Holy Martyr Barsima is remembered together with the presbyter Philicus and her two brothers. For confessing the faith of Christ they were beheaded, according to the Clergyman's Handbook (1978, vol. 2). In several calendars and in the Orthodox Encyclopedia, the martyr Barsimaeus with two brothers is entered on this day.

The calendar page says nothing else of them. Saint Barsima is commemorated on 6 February, in the new style, but their names are not included in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.
