The Church today venerates the memory of the Holy Martyrs Zenobius and His Sister Zenobia. The siblings hailed from the province of Cilicia, in southeast Asia Minor. Zenobius was a physician and healer. Due to his virtue he was consecrated a Bishop of his native city. With his sister he was arrested, tortured and beheaded for his faith during the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s persecutions.
