Christian Saints Podcast

Saints Chrysanthus and Daria

Darren C. Ong Season 3 Episode 27

Saints Chrysanthus and Daria lived in third century Rome, and were pagan converts to the Christian faith who died as martyrs. Saint Daria was in fact a pagan priestess. Saint Chrysanthus converted to Christianity as a young man, and his father, trying to dissuade him married him off to Saint Daria. This plan backfired when Saint Chrysanthus converted his new wife to Christianity instead. The couple lived a celibate life and were preaching the gospel to their neighbours, and as a result were condemned to execution.
