Life

Holy Venerable Evanthia is commemorated in the Byzantine verse synaxaria, where it is said that she reposed in peace. The time and place of her life are not known. The couplet dedicated to her entered from the verse synaxaria into the printed Greek Menaion, at Venice, in 1592, and then into the Synaxaristes of Saint Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain.

The Greeks commemorate her on 1 September, that is 14 September in the new style. Her name is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Church.
