Saints Peter, Andrew, Paul, and Denise (Dionisia, Dionysia) are venerated as martyrs by the Eastern Orthodox[5] and Catholic Churches.
[6] According to tradition, Denise was martyred during the persecution of Christians by the Emperor Decius, along with three men named Andrew, Paul, and Nichomachus.
[7] Nichomachus, "presumptuous and over-confident",[8] denied that he was a Christian after he was tortured and was asked to perform a sacrifice to the Roman gods.
She publicly expressed her desire to share their martyrdom, was carried away by force, and was promptly ordered to be beheaded by Optimus.
[4] The relics are visible through small openings; in the modern era this saint is invoked for protection against bicycle and motorcycle accidents[3] and headaches.
