Martyrs Eulampius and Eulampia, at Nicomedia, and 200 martyrs with them

Eulampius was a young Christian of Nicomedia during the persecution under Emperor Maximian. His Passion tells that, sent from his hiding place in the hills to buy bread, he was recognized in the city, brought before the judge and tortured when he would not sacrifice.

His sister Eulampia, hearing of it, pushed through the crowd, embraced him and declared herself a Christian too. According to the account, both were thrown into boiling oil and came out unhurt, and about two hundred onlookers believed and were executed with them. Eulampius and Eulampia were beheaded, in the early 4th century.
