Eudokia of Heliopolis

Eudokia (Greek: Ευδοκία) was a Samarian woman who lived in Heliopolis of Phoenicia (present day Baalbek, Lebanon).

Eudokia was very beautiful, and garnered her wealth by attracting wealthy lovers.

Eudokia followed his instructions, and at the end of the week, Germanus told her to give away her wealth and to put her previous life behind her.

[1] At age 30, Eudokia entered a monastery near Heliopolis, and dispensed much of her wealth in various charitable projects.

[6] In Romanian folklore, the figure of Baba Dochia is thought to have taken her name from Eudokia.
