Calendar for March 14 The Venerable Martyr Eudokia
A wealthy debauchee, then a great penitent, a hermit, and finally a martyr, lived in the Phoenician city of Heliopolis during the reign of Emperor Trajan. The old monk Germanus, having come to the city on business, stayed in a house adjoining Eudokia's. When he began to read the Psalter and some book about the Last Judgment at night, Eudokia heard him and was terribly frightened. In the morning she sent servants for him. He came and began a long conversation with Eudokia about faith and salvation. Immediately afterwards she asked the local bishop to baptize her. Then she left all her property to the Church, dismissed her servants and slaves, and went to a monastery. She lived in the monastery for 56 years. God gave her the grace to even resurrect the dead. During the persecution of Christians, she was beheaded with a sword.
Venerable Agapius. Holy Martyr Antonina.
