The Saint of the day 10 October (2)† Holy Martyrs Eulampius and Eulampia (196)
They were brother and sister, from Nicomedia, who suffered for Christ during the reign of Maximian. Eulampius was arrested for his Christian faith; when his sister received the news, she hurried to join him.
Both were subjected to various cruel tortures, including being cast into fire and boiling pitch, from which they miraculously emerged unharmed.
Finally, Eulampius was beheaded, and Eulampia gave up her spirit before she too could be beheaded.

Your holy martyrs, O Lord, / through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!
