On October 18, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church honors today the memory of Saint Zlata of Maglen. Zlata was born in the 18th century in a poor family in the village of Slatina located in the province of Maglen (today Chrysi, Greece). Saint Zlata is described as a very beautiful and godly girl with pure heart and humble soul.
Zlata was kidnapped by a Turk who wanted to make her become his wife. When he urged her to become a Muslim and renounce her faith and roots, Zlata replied: "I believe in Christ and him alone do I know as my bridegroom. I will never deny him, even though you subject me to a thousand tortures and cut me into pieces".
The Great Martyr Zlata of Maglen is regarded as the patron saint of Bulgarians abroad. In Bulgaria Saint Zlata is often depicted as young woman, wearing a traditional folk costume.
