Euphemia, Lúcia et Geminianus, in persecutióne Diocletiáni, non eodem loco, sed eodem die,
|
|
martyrio coronáti sunt. Euphemia Virgo apud Chalcédonem, Prisco proconsule, varia
|
|
tormentórum genera, virgárum, equulei, rotárum, ignis constanter passa; demum béstiis
|
|
objecta, una ex iis morsum sancto corpori infigente, ceteris pedes ejus lambéntibus,
|
|
immaculátum spíritum Deo réddidit. Lúcia, vidua Romana, a fílio Eutropio quod Christum multos
|
|
annos coluísset accusata, in ollam pice ac plumbo ferventuem dimittitur; unde incólumis
|
|
evadens, cum ferro plumboque oneráta per Urbem ducerétur, Geminianum, nóbilem virum,
|
|
constántia fidei et martyrii ad Christum convértit. Quem étiam cum multis aliis ad fidem
|
|
perductis, varie tortum, gloriosi martyrii, abscisso cápite, socium hábuit. Quorum córpora
|
|
Maxima, mulier christiana, honorifice sepelívit.

Euphemia, Lucy, and Geminian were all crowned with Martyrdom in the persecution under
|
|
Diocletian, upon the same day, though not in the same place. Euphemia was a maiden of
|
|
Chalcedon, who suffered diverse tortures under the Proconsul Priscus. She endured
|
|
unflinchingly the rods, the rack, the wheels, and the fire, and in the end was thrown to
|
|
wild beasts. These all licked her feet, save one, which gave her holy body such a bite, that
|
|
she forthwith resigned her guileless spirit to God. Lucy was a widow at Rome, who was
|
|
accused by her own son Eutropius, for that she had for many years worshipped Christ. She was
|
|
put into a vessel of hot pitch and lead, but came forth unhurt. As she was being haled
|
|
through the city loaded with iron and lead, the sight of her faith and unwavering
|
|
testification turned to Christ the nobleman Geminian. He was one of many whom she had
|
|
brought to the faith, and she had him for a comrade in her glorious martyrdom, for he was
|
|
diverse ways tormented, and then beheaded. Their bodies were given honourable burial by the
|
|
Christian lady Maxima.
