Eudokia of Heliopolis was a Samarian woman who lived in the early second century. After being introduced to Christianity by a monk named Germanus, she abandoned her wealthy lifestyle to pursue a religious life. Following a period of prayer and fasting, she was baptized by Bishop Theodotus and eventually joined a monastery near Heliopolis, which is known today as Baalbek. She dedicated her resources to charitable works and lived as a monk until her death in 107 AD.
