Holy Martyrs Callista and Her Brothers Evodus and Hermogenes (IV)

The holy Martyrs Callista and her brothers Evodus and Hermogenes, Christians of Nicomedia, stood before the tribunal of a pagan judge for confessing the true God. They refused to offer sacrifice to the idols, for which they were cut down with swords in the time of the Emperor Diocletian (284–305) (according to another account, in 309).
