St. Claudia, Alexandra, Euphrasia, Matrona, Juliania, Euphemia, Theodosia, Derphuta and her sister were arrested in the city of Amisus (on the coastal region of the Black Sea) during the persecution against Christians under the emperor Maximian Galerius. Under interrogation they confessed their faith and were subjected to cruel tortures for this. The malefactors scourged and beat them with rods, and cut off their breasts. After this, they were suspended and torn with sharp hooks. Finally, the holy virgins were burned alive in a red-hot oven.
