The saint behind the name
Myrope of Chios
December 2, Holy Woman, Μυρώπη
The holy martyr Myrope was born in Ephesus and lived on the island of Chios in the third century, where she devoted herself to prayer and to anointing the tombs of the martyrs with myrrh, from which she took her name. When the soldier Isidore was martyred on Chios, she secretly took his body and buried it with honour.
