Martyrs, died Nicomedia, 304. Justina was a Christian whose virginity was threatened by the magician Cyprian, but the grace of God was so strong in her that she was able to resist his spells by making the sign of the cross. Overpowered by a greater strength than his own, Cyprian became converted to the Faith, entered the priesthood, and was made Bishop of Antioch in Pisidia. Justina became a religious. They suffered in the persecution of Diocletian with Theoctistus, a Christian who had been associated with Cyprian. Relics in Vatican Basilica and Saint John Lateran, Rome. Feast of both saints, Roman Calendar, September 26,.
