When her parents and sisters found her, her parents said to her: "O daughter, have mercy on yourself and on us, your parents and sisters; deny Christ in words only, so that we can all be happy, for Christ is merciful. He would forgive such a sin, committed due to the necessities of life." Her parents, sisters, and relatives wept. However, Zlata resisted this. She answered them: "When you counsel me to deny Christ the true God, you are no longer my parents or my sisters. I have the Lord Jesus Christ as my father, the Theotokos as my mother, and the saints as my brothers and sisters." |

The Turks then cast her into prison for three months, flogging her every day. Finally, they suspended her upside down and lit a fire, to suffocate her with the smoke, but she survived. At last they hanged her from a tree and cut her into small pieces. Thus, this died on October 18, 1796. Pieces of her relics were taken by Christians to their homes for a blessing.
