- Holy Martyrs Zenobius and his sister Zenobia (~290)
These two holy ones were brother and sister, living the city of
Aegea in Cilicia. When their parents died, they gave all their
possessions to the poor. Zenobius, a physician, gave his healing
services for free to all who came to him, often relying more upon the
holy Name of Jesus than upon medicines. In time, he became Bishop of
Aegea. During the persecutions under the Emperor Diocletian, Zenobius
was arrested and brought before the governor Lysias, who demanded that
he deny Christ and worship the idols. When Zenobius refused, he was
subjected to torture. Zenobia, hearing of this, rushed to be with him
and openly rebuked the governor. The two were then tortured together
and finally beheaded, faithful to their Lord to the end.
