SAINTS of the DAY: Martyrs Galaction and his wife, Episteme, of Emesa are commemorated today.
There was a wealthy and distinguished couple named Kletophon and Leukippe, who lived in the Syrian city of Emesa. They were childless for a long time. They gave much gold to the pagan priests, but still, they remained childless. After receiving holy Baptism, Leukippe was able to conceive a child. They named the baby Galaction, and raised him in the Christian Faith, providing him with a fine education. Galaction could make an illustrious career for himself, but instead, he sought a pure monastic life in solitude and prayer. When Galaction turned 24, his father decided to marry him off. They found him a bride, a beautiful and illustrious girl named Episteme. Eventually, he converted her to Christ, and he secretly baptized her himself. Besides Episteme, he also baptized one of her servants, Eutolmius. The newly-illumined decided on the initiative of Galaction, to devote themselves to the monastic life. Leaving the city, they hid themselves on Mount Publion, where there were two monasteries, one for men and the other for women. The pagans became aware of the existence of the monasteries, and a military detachment was sent to apprehend their inhabitants. When Episteme saw that the soldiers were leading Galaction away in chains, she went with him. The saints endured terrible torments while supplicating and glorifying Christ. Eutolmius, the former servant of Episteme, secretly buried the bodies of the holy martyrs. He later wrote an account of their virtuous life and glorious martyrdom for his contemporaries and posterity.
