Eudokia the Martyr (in Ancient Greek: Εὐδοκία ἡ Μάρτυς) is a Christian saint and martyr from the 3rd century. According to Christian hagiographic accounts, she was deported along with thousands of other Christians by Shapur I. After strengthening her fellow believers in the face of persecution and converting Persian women, she was reportedly tortured in various ways, imprisoned multiple times, and eventually executed by beheading. She is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church, which commemorates her on August 4th. However, some modern Orthodox hagiographers believe she might actually be a fictional character.
