Life
Theodotus, Rufina and Ammia of Caesarea were martyrs of Caesarea in Cappadocia, remembered together on 31 August.
The Roman Martyrology says that at Caesarea in Cappadocia there were the saints Theodotus, Rufina and Ammia. The first two were the parents of the martyr Mamas, who was born in prison and whom Ammia brought up. Mamas is well known in the Eastern tradition too. We have no other data on their lives or time.
They are saints of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known for themselves. The information is scant.
