Righteous Euboule, mother of the Great Martyr Panteleimon.
St. Euboule was the mother of the Great Martyr Panteleimon, a Christian woman of Nicomedia married to a pagan husband. She raised her son in the faith from childhood, and though she reposed before his martyrdom, the seeds she planted bore fruit when he returned to Christ and became the unmercenary physician and martyr honored throughout the Church.
Her memory is kept on March 30.
