Life
Saint Charitus the Martyr is commemorated in the Greek synaxarion on 28 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) as a martyr. The English calendar gives the name in the form Charita, a woman's name, so it cannot be established with certainty whether the martyr was a man or a woman.
The sources consulted give no further details: neither the place, nor the time, nor the manner of the suffering.
