Life
Saint Cassia the Confessor lived in the time of the emperor Diocletian and was arrested in the year 304 at Thessalonica, together with Agathon, Eutychia and Philippa.
Before the governor Dulcitius and the prefect Cassander, she and her companions confessed their faith in Christ. Because of their young age, they were not condemned to death but shut in prison. Nothing else is known of her. Her commemoration is on 16 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
