She is also one of the six megalomartyr saints of the Greek Orthodox Church. She is the patroness of girls' schools and philosophy students, and she is often depicted leaning on a half-broken and blood-stained wheel. The latter is entirely dressed in a tunic, all finely covered with gilding. The face has a good expression, she holds a palm in her right hand and is wearing a crown.
