Life

Saint Martha is one of the five "canonical virgins" (Thecla, Mariamne, Martha, Mary and Ennatha) commemorated together on 26 September in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). According to the synaxarion they were put to death by their spiritual father, the money-⁠loving Paul, around the year 330. Their memory is repeated on 9 June. No other details are preserved in the sources consulted. She is not to be confused with Martha, the sister of Lazarus.
