Euphemia

Euphemia was a girl of 12, the daughter of Paul Yong. She was killed on 10 June 1900 (old style; 23 June in the new), during the Boxer Rising, in the house of Priest Mitrophan Ji, in Beijing.

The Boxers had pressed the Orthodox to burn incense before the idols and to deny Christ; those who stayed faithful were killed, and their houses and churches were burned. Her name stands in the list of the 222 Orthodox Christians killed in 1900, drawn up in 1904 by the Brotherhood of the Orthodox Church in China.
