Anastasia

Saint Anastasia the New Martyr suffered at Patras, in Achaia, on Palm Sunday of the year 1821, together with Saint Christodoulos. Anastasia was the servant of a Christian family in which the mother and the two daughters had renounced their faith; of the same age as Christodoulos, fourteen, she strengthened him in spirit. The historian Pouqueville, consul of France at Patras, recorded the event as an eyewitness and adds that others suffered with them.

The saints are commemorated on 3 May and on 16 April (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece); another source places their memory on the Tuesday of Bright Week.
