Life

Holy Martyr Chrysanthus is commemorated on 4 January (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, together with Holy Martyr Euphemia.

The two suffered for faith in Christ, but no details of their lives have survived. A verse says that Chrysanthus blossoms like a very sweet fruit, more precious than gold.
