Commemorated on April 16
The Holy Martyr Charissa along with Martyrs Leonidas, Nike, Galina, Kalisa (Kalida), Nunekhia, Basilissa, and Theodora suffered at Corinth in the year 258. They threw them into the sea, but they did not drown. Instead, they walked upon the water as if on dry land, singing spiritual hymns. The torturers overtook them in a ship, tied stones around their necks and drowned them.
I bought this as a gift for my wife, named Charissa. I was just received in the Church Pascha 2025, and my wife starts Catechism this fall. What a beautiful Icon, and her story is inspiring. Well done, folks. God's blessings upon you. What y'all are doing makes a difference.
I was so excited to find this icon of my patron saint, and it is such a lovely and peaceful icon. I have two in different rooms of my home.
Was so happy to find this icon of my patron saint, she is hard to find icons of. This is a great quality icon.
