Life
Holy Martyr Kyriaki was martyred together with six other young Christian women in Nicomedia, in the year 307, after being burned alive, in the time of the emperor Maximian Galerius. She is commemorated on 19 May.
The Synaxarion says in verse that Kyriaki, wisely fleeing the eternal fire, gladly bore the passing fire. The calendar counts her among the great martyrs of Nicomedia. She is not to be confused with the Great Martyr Kyriaki (7 July), who is commemorated on another day. Other details of her life have not been preserved.
