It turns out I must have...Thank you for your post!<br /><br />It turns out I must have been mistaken with this documentation.<br /><br />It is true that St. Philip the Deacon celebrates on October 11th. On the same day celebrates Sts. Zenais and Philonilla, who are described as "relatives of St. Paul the Apostle" according to St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain, but they are not described anywhere I've seen as being two of St. Philip's daughters. (http://www.snhell.gr/references/synaxaristis/search.asp?id=1435)<br /><br />As we know from the Acts of the Apostles, St. Philip had four pious daughters who had the gift of prophecy (Acts 21:8). Two are named by St. Nikodemos: St. Ermione (whose full life is given in the Great Synaxaristes) and Eutychis (who is just mentioned in passing, and is not mentioned in the Menaion of September 4th, so I am unsure if she is actively honored as a Saint or not). (http://www.snhell.gr/references/synaxaristis/search.asp?id=1435)<br /><br />I have yet to see an icon that depicts his four daughters together, so I don't have an iconographic basis for this to give you.Agioi_Anargyroihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625211991052711513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4990141932888502187.post-27189544029761407042011-10-14T17:25:11.540-07:002011-10-14T17:25:11.540-07:00Do you know if the four names of his daughters are...Do you know if the four names of his daughters are well documented....meaning do you have a lot of confidence in that info? I'm asking for an icon including his four daughters that I'm doing and I'd like to name them all correctly.Ann Chapinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10544462284379639450noreply@blogger.com
