Susanna of Babylon

Holy Righteous Susanna of Babylon was a God-⁠fearing Jewess of Babylon, unjustly accused by two elders of adultery and saved from death by the prophet Daniel, who proved the elders' slander.

The event is told in the Book of the Prophet Daniel (Daniel 13). Two elders who had desired Susanna testified falsely against her, and the people were ready to condemn her to death; Daniel asked that the elders be heard one by one, and their lie came to light. Susanna is commemorated, in the new style, on 27 December, a movable date, on the Sunday of the Holy Forefathers, and on 3 January, a movable date, on the Sunday of the Holy Fathers.
