Historical Usage
The monastic community of Chariton, founded in Egypt around 445 AD by Saint Chariton, was named after the saint himself and his sister Charitia who lived a virtuous life in solitude nearby. Charitia is mentioned in hagiographic texts as an exemplar of Christian asceticism and as a model of piety for monastic communities.
Late Antiquity (5th century AD)
A 13th century Syriac manuscript from the Monastery of Mar Saba near Jerusalem contains a composition called the 'Book of Charitomartyres', which is a collection of hymns dedicated to several Christian saints including Charitia. This text suggests that Charitia was venerated as a martyr and her life story was passed down through oral tradition before being recorded in this manuscript.
Medieval period (13th century)
