Philippa

Saint Philippa the Confessor suffered for Christ in the persecution at the beginning of the fourth century, in the time of Diocletian. She was arrested in the year 304 at Thessalonica, together with Agathon, Eutychia and Cassia.

The four confessed before the governor Dulcitius and the prefect Cassander and, being young, were sentenced to imprisonment rather than death. No other details survive. She is commemorated on 16 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
