Holy Martyr Anthousa the New

St. Anthousa the New (Feast Day - August 27)

Verses

With a mantle made of felt, and a stone fastened,
Anthousa entered the deep well.

The Holy Martyr Anthousa the New met her end by being dressed in felt, namely a rag made of hair, and having a stone tied around her neck, was cast into a well.
