Holy New Martyr Kyranna suffered in the year 1751 and was a virgin and martyr. The Greek calendar (new style) commemorates her on 8 January, and her life is told on 28 February.

The calendar calls her Kyranna, or Kyrene, of Vysoka (Ossa), near Thessaloniki. Her hymns call her a scion of Ossa and a bride of Christ, and ask her to protect from illness and affliction those who run to her.
