Chloe

Saint Chloe was a Christian woman of Corinth, a notable coworker of the Apostle Paul in the Church of Corinth (not of Ephesus, as some sources say). She is commemorated on the first Sunday after 13 February, with Titius, Justus and Crispus, and in the Greek calendar on 15 February (new style).

She was spiritually bound to the Apostle and supported him in his mission as far as she could. She worried for the progress of the Church of Corinth, and when quarrels broke out there, she sent people of her household to Ephesus, where Paul then was, to inform him. The Apostle writes about this in the First Epistle to the Corinthians (1:11), and the report was the main reason for writing the epistle. Chloe did not want divisions and wished the Church of Corinth to be one body with Christ as head. Her hymns call her a handmaid of God who intercedes unceasingly for our souls.
