Life
Holy Martyr Pelagia was, according to the synaxarion, one of the two sisters, Pelagia and Thecla, seized at Alexandria in Egypt by the governor Valerian. She is commemorated on 6 September (new style), together with Andrew, Andronicus and Thecla.
The governor subjected them to harsh torments and then beheaded them. In the synaxarion their names often appear fused as "Andropelagia", probably from a blending of the names Andrew or Andronicus and Pelagia. No other details are preserved in the sources consulted.
