Life
Mamelchtha (Mamelta) was a Persian priestess of the temple of Artemis, whose sister was a Christian. An angel showed her the Christian mysteries in a dream; her sister brought her to the bishop, who baptized her. When the pagans learned of it they stoned her to death, still in the bright garments of baptism. She is commemorated on 5 October. Her time is not given in the synaxaria. The date is that of the Orthodox Menaion (13 days later on the old calendar).
