A life of faith

Chryse is named as a new martyr in the calendar’s supplementary commemorations. The short notice locates her suffering at Slatena in the eparchy of Moglena in 1795.

The Eastern Orthodox Church remembers saints in prayer and commemoration. Their lives offer examples for Christians learning to live their faith.

A reflection

Chryse’s brief remembrance invites a moment of prayer for people whose faith exposes them to danger.
