September 16
Why this day? This is the day the name-day calendar sets aside for Euphemia of Chalcedon.
A young Christian woman of the fourth century, martyred at Nicomedia under Diocletian. Faced with torture, she never renounced her convictions or insulted her tormentors, remaining steadfast until the end. Her courage inspired generations to stand up to authority.
What stays with us: We learn that it is possible to keep one's dignity intact even when everything collapses around us. This tenacity in the face of adversity remains a model of inner strength.

Eufemia is celebrated in Argentina on September 16.
Eufemia is a name with Greek roots that means "the one who speaks well" or "the one with a good mouth." It has an ancient and noble history, associated with a saintly martyr, but today it sounds with a retro and very particular charm. It is a name that carries an energy of its own voice and defined character.
Imagine an Eufemia: she is that person who arrives at the meeting and is already telling the best joke. She has a vibrant, direct personality and a humor that sometimes cuts like a razor, but always with affection. She doesn't like boring drama; if she doesn't like something, she tells you looking you in the eyes, but always with a mischievous smile.
