Maiden of Nicomedia (Turkey), daughter of an illustrious pagan named Africanus, betrothed as a child to Senator Eleusius, an advisor to the emperor. Her father was hostile to Christians, but she secretly accepted Holy Baptism. Refusing marriage, she was imprisoned and subjected to a vision of a demon pretending to be an angel of light, urging her to sacrifice to the pagan gods. Recognizing the deceit, she vanquished her tempter, who admitted that devils suffer particularly when Christians attend Mass. She was tortured and beheaded in 304 alongside St. Barbara.
