HESYCHIUS, B.M. (iST CENT.) [Spanish Martyrplogies. Not in the Roman.] lESYCHIUS is traditionally said to have been one of seven apostles sent by S. Peter into Spain. He is supposed to have preached in the neighbourhood of Gibraltar, and to have made Carteja, or Carcesia, the modern Algeziras, his head- quarters. Nothing authentic is known of this mission, or of his labours and martyrdom. VOL. III. 1 ^ * ; ^ ->» 2 Lives of the Saints. [March i. S. EUDOCIA, M. (2ND' CENT.) [Greek Menasa, and Roman Martyrology. This saint does not occur in any of the ancient Latin Martyrologies. Her name was inserted in the Roman Martyrology by Baronius. She is called Eudoxia or Eudooia. Authority : —An ancient Greek Life which, however, from its using the word homo-ousios, and calling the Praetor, Count, proves to be later than the times of Constantine. The story has a foundation of fact, no doubt but a large amount of addition to it has been made of fabulous matter, to convert it into a religious romance.] There was a Samaritan woman named Eudocia, of great beauty, who lived as a harlot, in the city of Heliopolis, in Phoenicia. She had amassed much wealth by her shameful mode of life, and she thought only of how she might gratify the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, apd the pride of life. But the word of God is like a hammer that breaketh the rocks in pieces. There was a monk, named Germanus, passing through the city, and he lodged with an acquaintance next door to the house of Eudocia. And in the middle of the night he arose, as was his wont, and sang his Psalms, and, opening a book began, by the light of his lamp, to read a spiritual lecture with a loud voice. And this happened to be its subject, —the coming of Jesus Christ on the clouds of heaven to judge all men according to their works, when they that have done well shall enter into life, and they that have evil done shall be cast into eternal fire.
