The Holy Martyrs Zenobios and Zenobia (died c.290; Greek:Ζηνόβιος καὶ Ζηνοβία; occasionally (and incorrectly) Σινόβιος καὶ Σινοβία; Latin: Zenobius et Zenobia, Slavonic: Зиновій и Зиновія) are recognized by Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church; their day is October 30.[1][2][3][4]
According to the Byzantine hagiography, Zenobius and his sister Zenobia were from Aegae, Cilicia. Zenobios was a physician and because of his divine healing powers he was consecrated bishop of Aegae. They were tortured and beheaded around 290, during Diocletian's persecutions.[5][6]
It has been argued that the characters are mythological, possibly arisen from the confusion of the reading of martyrologies.[7] Hippolyte Delehaye suggested a possible compilation by an unknown hagiographer who put together parts from the hagiography of Saints Cosmas and Damian with mentions of various saints named Zenobios/Zenobius.[1]
