Larissa of Crimea was a 4th-century Christian martyr who lived in Gothia, located in present-day Crimea. During the reign of Emperor Gratian, she faced persecution under the rule of King Junger, who targeted Christians and destroyed their places of worship. Larissa died during a tragic incident when a temple was locked and set on fire during a service, resulting in the deaths of 308 people. She is remembered as one of the 21 martyrs whose names were preserved from this specific fire.
