Photis

Saint Photis the Martyr is commemorated on 26 February (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) among those who suffered with the holy Great Martyr Photine the Samaritan woman, the woman of the Gospel. Photis was one of her sisters; the others were Phota, Parasceva and Cyriaca, and Photine's sons, Victor the general (also called Photinus) and Joses, suffered too, as did Theoclitus, the former sorcerer. According to tradition, all received the crown of martyrdom in the time of the emperor Nero, around the year 66.
