FR La Chapelle Sainte-Euphémie est un édifice religieux dont on peut trouver trace dans des archives datant de 1256. Les habitants de la commune d’Artignosc sur Verdon célèbrent traditionnellement, vers la mi-septembre, la Sainte Euphémie par une procession depuis l’église Saint Pierre, située au cœur du village. Cette marche est suivie d’une célébration. C’est aussi l’occasion de chanter l’hymne à Sainte Euphémie :

« Honneur à toi glorieuse Euphémie
Qui sut pour dieu et combattre et mourir
Du haut du ciel la céleste Patrie
Penche ta main et daigne nous bénir…. »

Dans des archives, on trouve trace que cette célébration avait été interdite et se situait entre Pâques et Pentecôte.

Selon la tradition, Euphémie née à Chalcédoine vers 284 est morte en martyre en 305. Elle était fille de sénateur. Témoin des tortures subies par les chrétiens pour les obliger à revenir au culte des idoles, elle se précipita courageusement chez le juge pour lui dire qu’elle aussi était chrétienne et qu’elle devait subir le même sort et non être épargnée du fait de ses origines nobles. Elle fut alors jetée en prison et subit de nombreuses tortures auxquelles elle résista miraculeusement. Un lion refusa de la dévorer et elle finit par mourir décapitée.
EN The Chapel of St. Euphemia is a religious building that can be found in archives dating back to 1256. The inhabitants of the municipality of Artignosc sur Verdon traditionally celebrate the Holy Euphoria in mid-September with a procession from the church of Saint Peter, located in the heart of the village. This march is followed by a celebration. It is also the opportunity to sing the hymn to Saint Euphoria:

" Honour to you glorious Euphoria
Who knew for God and fight and die
From the top of the sky the heavenly Fatherland

In the archives, there is a record that this celebration was banned and was held between Easter and Pentecost.

According to tradition, Euphoria was born in Chalcedon around 284 and died a martyr in 305. She was the daughter of a senator. Witnessing the torture suffered by Christians to force them to return to idol worship, she courageously rushed to the judge to tell him that she too was a Christian and that she should suffer the same fate and not be spared because of her noble origins. She was then thrown in prison and suffered many tortures to which she miraculously resisted. A lion refused to eat her and she eventually died beheaded.
