About Saints Chrysanthus and Daria. Chrysanthus and Daria are early Roman martyrs, traditionally dated to the year 283, whose names appear in ancient martyrologies. A church was built over their reputed grave in Rome.
Tradition. The story that Chrysanthus was the son of an Egyptian patrician, that he married Daria, a pagan priestess who became a Christian, and that the couple lived together in chastity comes from the later Acts of the Martyrs. Scholars regard these accounts as legendary. A 2011 scientific study of remains associated with them gave dates compatible with the traditional account.
Choose this candle for a wedding, an engagement, an anniversary, or a couple who want to pray together under the patronage of early Christian witnesses.
