Life

Saint Justa led a life of struggle pleasing to God and fell asleep in peace.

The verse of the synaxarion likens her to the full moon, which shone by her works and is now covered by the cloud of the tomb. In the calendar she is commemorated with Glaphyra, Calandion and Nestor. No other details of her life are preserved. Her feast is on 26 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
