Holy Martyr Medula and her companions were cast into the fire and so received the crown of martyrdom. She is commemorated on 25 January (new style) in the Greek synaxarion.

A verse of the synaxarion says that the venerable Medula, a servant of the Word of God, was seen as a fellow contestant with God's servants in the fire. The names of her companions and the place and time of the martyrdom are not preserved.
