Holy Martyr Agathoclea 9/30/2013
She served as a maid to a man called Nicholas and his wife Paula, who had been Christians at first, but they abandoned Christianity and returned to worshipping idols. Saint Agathoclea would not follow the example of her masters, and therefore was severely tortured both by them and by the judge. At last, her mistress branded her on the throat whereby she departed this life. Still, God glorified His maid at His Heavenly Kingdom.
