Saints Callinica and Basilissa (died 252 AD) were two female Christian martyrs. Hailing from Galatia, they were wealthy matrons who spent their fortunes bringing aid to the imprisoned Christians in the Roman Empire.

They were arrested for their generosity and beheaded by the sword at Rome in the year 252.[1]
