Life

Holy Martyr Euphemia is commemorated on 4 January (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with Holy Martyr Chrysanthus.

She suffered for faith in Christ, but no details of her life have survived. She is described only as the one near Saint Acacius, from which it is understood that this refers to her burial place.
