Life
Saint Euodia was a Christian woman of Philippi, the Macedonian city where the Apostle Paul founded the first church on European soil. Her name is preserved in the Epistle to the Philippians (4:2-3), where the Apostle asks her and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord and says of both that they struggled at his side for the Gospel.
The epistle shows that a disagreement had arisen between the two women. Paul urges them to unity, and the Greek synaxarion presents them as servants of the Gospel who shared in the hardships of the mission. The sources consulted give no day of commemoration and no details about her death.
