Husband and wife, from Nicomedia. Adrian was the chief praetor and a heathen, and Natalia was a secret Christian. When Emperor Maximian visited Nicomedia, he caught 23 Christians in a cave near the city. They beat them, then threw them in the dungeon. When they were brought before the praetor, Andrijan swore them to tell him what they expected from their God when they were suffering so much for him. Then he said to the praetor: "Write down my name with theirs." Natalia was very happy and served everyone in the dungeon. They surrendered their spirit to God when their hands and feet were broken on the anvil. Natalia transferred their relics to Constantinople. After a few days, Saint Adrian appeared to her in all his glory, he called her and she surrendered her spirit to God. They were married for only 13 months.
