Martyr Leonidas and the Holy Martyrs Charissa, Nike, Galina, Kalisa (Kalida), Nunekhia, Basilissa, and Theodora, and others at Corinth

The Church remembers Leonidas and a group of women martyrs, among them Charissa, Nike, Galina, Kalisa, Nunekhia, Basilissa, Theodora and Irene, as having been drowned in the sea at Corinth. The tradition dates their martyrdom to the persecution under Emperor Decius, in 251 by St Dimitry of Rostov and 258 in some calendars. Little more is told of them than their names and the manner of their death.
