Life
Saint Eutychia the Confessor was arrested in the year 304 at Thessalonica, in the persecution of Diocletian, together with Agathon, Cassia and Philippa.
They confessed Christ before the governor Dulcitius and the prefect Cassander. Because of their youth, they were thrown into prison rather than sentenced to death. No other details of her life survive. She is commemorated with the others on 16 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
