Holy Martyr Leontina is commemorated on 26 October (new style, the Greek calendar) as a woman martyr. The Greek source notes that her existence, her biographical data and the day of her feast have not been verified, and that no details of her life are known.
The name, which means strong as a lion, and the title of martyr are the only things preserved.
