Life

Holy Indika is commemorated on 3 January in the old style (16 January in the new style). The only remembrance of her that survives is in the Patmos copy of the Typikon of the Great Church, of the ninth and tenth centuries. From there her commemoration passed into a collection of saints' lives compiled by Archbishop Sergius (Spassky), and her name into a list of saints in the encyclopedic dictionary "Christianity", published in Moscow in 1995. Nothing is known of her life. The page notes that she is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Church, and her commemoration is set according to the Byzantine calendar.
