Sarantis

Holy Martyr Sarantis is one of the six martyrs slain at Megara in Attica, commemorated on 16 August (new style): Seraphim, Dorotheus, Jacob, Basil, Demetrius and Sarantis.

The synaxaria say nothing of them. A service was composed for them by Father Gerasimos Mikragiannanites, and an old manuscript kept in their church at Megara tells that their relics were found in the year 1798, in places in the city of Megara, after they appeared in a dream to a nine-⁠year-⁠old child named Paisios. No other details of Sarantis are preserved in the sources consulted.
