Tryphaena of Cyzicus was a 1st-century Christian martyr living in the Roman Empire. Born to noble parents, Anastasius and Socratia, she was named after a former Thracian queen. Because she rejected the traditional Roman religion in favor of following Jesus, the local governor, Caesarius, ordered her death. Despite several attempts to kill her, including being placed in a hot oven and thrown toward spears, she survived these initial ordeals, eventually dying after being attacked by a bull.
