Life
Holy Martyr Bebaia of Edessa (also called Phebaia or Vivaia) suffered in the second century, in the time of Emperor Trajan, together with her brother, Saint Sarbelus.
Sarbelus was a priest of the idols in Edessa. A bishop brought him to Christ, and he was baptized together with his sister. The pagans tormented the two saints for a long time and then cut off their heads for their confession of the Christian faith.
The saint is commemorated on 28 October, in the new style, together with her brother.
Commemorated the same day October 15
