Xenia the Righteous of Rome was a 5th-century Christian saint who lived as a monastic. Born Eusebia to a wealthy Roman senator, she fled her home with two servants to escape an arranged marriage. She traveled to the island of Kos and eventually settled in Mylasa, located in modern-day Turkey. Adopting the name Xenia, which means stranger, she sought a secluded life to remain hidden from her family. She eventually became a deaconess under Bishop Paul and dedicated her life to religious service.
