Born at Chalcedon in c.307, on the opposite bank of the Bosphorus from Constantinople where the council meeting was held in 451. There are many references about her life, and also many places that claim to be the home for Euphemia. However, Chalcedon must be the most possible one as a church was built and dedicated to her there from very early times. Although, many stories have been told about her, it is hard to identify which one is her true story. All we know that she was probably martyred by having been thrown to the wild beasts during the emperor Diocletian's persecutions. |
