Commemorated on August 4
The Holy Martyr Eudokia was a native of Anatolia, living in the fourth
century. The army of the Persian emperor Sapor took her into captivity
with 9,000 Christians. Since she knew the Holy Scriptures well, she
instructed the prisoners. The saint also preached to the Persian women
and converted many of them to Christianity. For this she was subjected
to lengthy and fierce tortures and then beheaded.
