Life

Holy Martyr Euodius of Nicomedia was brother of the holy Callista and of the holy Hermogenes, all Christians of Nicomedia. They stood before a pagan magistrate for confessing their faith in Christ. Refusing to offer sacrifice to idols, they were put to the sword, around 309.

He is commemorated on 14 September (new style), together with his sister Callista and his brother Hermogenes. Their story is also found in the Lives of the Saints by Saint Demetrius of Rostov.
