The saint behind the name
Charitine
October 5, Holy Woman, Χαριτίνη
St. Charitina was a young Christian woman who suffered martyrdom during the persecutions at the beginning of the fourth century. An orphan raised by a pious guardian, she lived in prayer and purity, and when she was denounced as a Christian she confessed Christ boldly, enduring cruel tortures until she gave her soul to God.
