These Saints were from Aegae in Cilicia, brought up in piety by their parents.
Zenobius was a physician, and healed many freely by the power of God;
because of his virtue he was consecrated Bishop of Aegae. With his
sister he was taken by Lysias the Governor, and after many tortures
they were beheaded, about the year 290, during the reign of Diocletian.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone:
Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received
as the prize the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal
God. For since they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the tyrants
and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ
God, by their prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.
Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone:
With songs inspired by God, let us now render honour, as is due unto
Zenobius and wise Zenobia, the pair of siblings in the flesh, who
proclaimed true religion; those two martyrs of truth, who, passing
their lives as one, also received together through martyrdom crowns
that shall not fade.
