  Anastasia

  January 4, Holy Woman, Αναστασία

  St. Anastasia was a holy woman and martyr of Rome who gave her life for Christ during the persecutions of the early Church. The synaxaria preserve little of her story beyond her faithful confession, but her name, which means resurrection, has been cherished by the faithful as a sign of the hope for which she died.
