Life

Holy Martyr Eulampia of Nicomedia was the sister of the Holy Martyr Eulampius and suffered with him at the beginning of the fourth century, in Nicomedia, in the time of the Emperor Maximian (284-305).

When her brother was brought to trial for not renouncing Christ and was tortured, Eulampia appeared herself before the judges and said that she was a Christian. Her brother encouraged her with the words of the Gospel, not to fear those who kill the body. Both were thrown into a heated furnace, but the Lord preserved them unharmed. Then the brother was beheaded, and Eulampia died in the torments.

The Synaxarion commemorates her on 23 October (new style), with her brother.
