Holy Martyr Galactia is commemorated in the calendar of the Church of Greece on 18 May (new style).

Her name appears only in a brief mention in the "Small Euchologion or Hagiasmatarion", the 1959 edition of Apostoliki Diakonia, with no further information. Her commemoration is found nowhere else, and her existence and details could not be verified from other sources.
