Saint Zlata of Maglen (Bulgarian: Света Великомъченица Злата Мъгленска, Greek: Αγία Χρυσή; died October 18, 1795) is an 18th-century Eastern Orthodox saint and great martyr.
According to her hagiography, Zlata was born in a poor Christian family from the village of Slatina (today Χρυσή), near the town of Maglen (today in Greece). She was one of the four daughters of her parents. From an early age Zlata was well known for her beauty, humbleness and piety. She was kidnapped by an young Turkish man, who tried to persuade her to denounce her faith, to convert herself into the Islam and to marry him. Zlata declined and she was put to the great tortures. On October 18, 1795 Zlata was hanged and her body was cut in pieces. After her martyr's death Zlata was canonized as saint and great martyr by the Eastern Orthodox Churches. Bulgarian Orthodox Church celebrates her feast day on October 18; the Greek, the Russian, the Serbian and the Macedonian Orthodox churches - on October 13. Her hagiography was written by Nicodemus the Hagiorite. In Bulgaria and Macedonia Saint Zlata is often depicted as young women, wearing a traditional folk costume. In Bulgaria Saint Zlata is patron saint of the all Bulgarians, who live abroad.
