Life

Holy Martyr Hermogenes of Nicomedia suffered in the year 309 together with his sister, the Holy Martyr Callista, and her brother Evodus. All three were Christians of Nicomedia.

Callista and her brothers Evodus and Hermogenes appeared before the pagan governor's court for confessing faith in Christ. Because they refused to sacrifice to the idols, they were beheaded.

The Synaxarion commemorates Callista, Evodus and Hermogenes on 14 September (new style).
