Life

Saint Oraiozele, martyr, was a Christian of Byzantium, a disciple of the holy apostle Andrew, killed in the persecution of Domitian. She is commemorated on 26 July.

She lived in the time of persecutions. Her parents were pagans, but she became a Christian when she heard the teaching of Saint Andrew. She had received an excellent education and taught the Gospel to others as well. In the persecution in the reign of Domitian, the saint was questioned. She refused to change her faith and was executed by beheading. Her remains were thrown into the fire.
