Life

Venerable Candida of Byzantium is commemorated on 7 August in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). Saint.gr has no biography of her and notes that the saint's existence, the details of her life and the day of her feast are not cross-⁠checked by other sources, so nothing certain can be said about her.
