Zlata of Meglen was an 18th-century Eastern Orthodox saint born to a peasant family in the Meglen province. Born around 1750, she lived among Slavic speakers in what is now Greece. She is recognized as a great martyr for refusing to convert to Islam after being kidnapped by a local man. Despite intense physical suffering and pressure from both her captors and her own family, she remained steadfast in her faith until her death in October 1795.
