Chaido of Stanos was an Eastern Orthodox saint and new martyr born around 1800 in the village of Stanos, located in Chalkidiki. During the Chalkidiki uprising in 1821, she fled to Thasos with her mother. They eventually settled at the Pantokrator monastery in Kallirachi, where her mother passed away. While staying at this location, Chaido was killed by Turkish invaders, leading to her recognition as a martyr.
Life and death
Born in the Ottoman-controlled village of Stanos, Chaido lived during a period of significant regional unrest. Following the outbreak of the 1821 uprising, she sought refuge at a monastery in Kallirachi. It was at this site that she lost her mother and subsequently lost her own life during an attack by Turkish forces.
Veneration
She was officially recognized as a saint in 1888. Her feast day is observed on September 1. In her birthplace of Stanos, a church has been constructed and dedicated in her name to honor her memory.
