Life
Saints Eulampius and Eulampia, martyrs, were brother and sister, natives of Nicomedia, and were put to death for faith in Christ, according to tradition in the year 310, in the time of the emperor Maximinus. They are commemorated on 10 October.
According to tradition, Eulampius was arrested by the authorities while trying to buy supplies for the Christians hiding in the caves on the outskirts of Nicomedia. After Eulampius was whipped, his sister Eulampia was arrested, because she showed herself by coming out of the crowd to embrace and comfort him.
The next day Eulampius and Eulampia were put to death. According to Christian tradition, two hundred soldiers, moved by the courage of the two siblings, became Christians and died as martyrs themselves.
