Epicharis (martyr)

Epicharis is the name of two Christian martyrs.

250

Her feast day is 9 January (the day of her martyrdom) in the Roman Catholic Church.[1]

Born in Africa, and becoming a bishop, she was martyred in 250 with Felix, Jucundus, Secundus, Vitalis, and seven other companions. An Epictetus, a bishop, was recorded by St. Cyprian.

300

Said to be the wife of a Roman senator, she was martyred in Byzantium or Asia Minor in 300. Her feast day is September 27 in the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches.[2]

Some sources give her as a lady of a senatorial family, who was scourged and then smitten with the sword in Rome in the persecution of Diocletian.[3]
