Life

Saint Syntyche was a Christian woman of Philippi, named by the Apostle Paul in the Epistle to the Philippians (4:2-3) together with Euodia. The Apostle asks both women to be of the same mind in the Lord and says that they struggled with him for the Gospel.

According to the Greek synaxarion, the small disagreement between them did not last, and Paul's exhortation brought them back to their shared work in the Church of Philippi, the first church the Apostle founded in Macedonia. The sources consulted give no day of commemoration and no details about her death.
