Life

Holy Martyr Prosdoce is commemorated with her mother Domnina and her sister Berenice (Verina). The three women, out of divine zeal, left their homes and relatives, fled and wandered from place to place as far as Edessa, so as to keep their faith in Christ.

Tradition numbers them among the martyrs of the Church, and the synaxarion commemorates them together on 4 October (new style). The sources consulted give no further details about their deaths.
