What is today, September 16, a church holiday?

September 16 in the church calendar – Memorial Day of Saint Euphemia the All-Praised. The woman came from a Christian family. Once the ruler of the city, who was a pagan and persecuted Christians, ordered all residents to gather in the square to celebrate the holiday of the god Mars. And the local Christian community was just holding their worship service. For this, its members were immediately arrested and then sent to trial by the emperor. The ruler left only young Euphemia, whom he decided to seduce.

But the girl each time rejected all the ruler’s proposals, for which she was tortured. However, the Lord protected her body. Then they threw Euphemia to the wild animals, but they began to lick her hands. Suddenly a voice was heard from heaven, calling the martyr to herself. Euphemia died here. At the same moment, a strong earthquake occurred in the city and all the pagan temples were destroyed.
