CONCERNING S. CHARIS THE MARTYR.

Commentary

Charis, Martyr (S.)

From various sources.

The Greek Menaea have presented this unconquered heroine, unknown to the Calendars of the Latins. This alone is recorded of her: "On the same day, S. Charis, having had her feet amputated, met her end."

Charis, with her feet cut off, ran to God. For feet that are amputated are not the soul's feet.

She is also mentioned by Maximus Cythereus.
