Life

Holy Martyr Callista of Nicomedia received a martyr's death in the year 309, together with her brothers Evodus and Hermogenes. The Church commemorates them on 14 September (new style).

Callista and her brothers, Christians of Nicomedia, stood before the judgment of a pagan governor for confessing faith in Christ. Because they refused to sacrifice to idols, their heads were cut off with the sword.
