Many people have said that she was a Greek princess at around the 4th century

In front of the catacombs they covered it and put in front 2 anchors, 3 arrows and a palm

When she died her things cured many things:
A mother of a blind son dipped her fingers into the oil of the lamp burning beside the tomb, placed the oil on the eyes of her son, and he was instantly healed.

A lady of rank had a cancerous ulcer on her hand which required an operation. A relic of the saint was brought to her. In the evening she placed it on the wound. The following morning, when the surgeon arrived to operate, he found to his surprise that the wound had healed

Many people called her
"Wonder-worker"

When her father wanted her to get married she said "no! My heart belongs only to God" and her father was mad and chained, and locked her in a dungeon
