Life
The Many Martyrs of Eugenia, near Constantinople, are an Orthodox feast. In the time of the Emperor Arcadius, the relics of many martyrs of Christ were unearthed, among them those of the Apostle Andronicus and his helper Junia (Rom 16:7). These relics were found, following a divine revelation, by a cleric, Nicholas the Calligrapher. "Their names are known only to the Lord, who wrote them in the Book of Life in heaven." Over the relics of the Apostle Andronicus the Byzantine Emperor Andronicus I Komnenos built a wonderful temple in the twelfth century. The Serbian Church commemorates them on 22 February by the old calendar (7 March by the new).
