St. Pachomius Library

Sts. Agape, Chionia, Irene, and their Companions

III/IV Centuries
Martyrs of Aquileia (or possibly of Thessalonica), contemporaneous with St. Anastasia. They were put to death for possessing copies of Christian books. Another woman of their company was spared, because she was pregnant.
An editor of this library here expresses gratitude for their miraculous intercessions.
