Life
Holy Venerable Melania is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 27 May (new style) as an ascetic, without further explanation.
The sources consulted contain no details of her life: neither place, nor time, nor the origin of her commemoration. She should not be confused with Saint Melania the Younger or Melania the Elder, who have commemorations on other days. What remains is her name kept in the calendar and her veneration as a nun.
