Nymphas
Christian personality in the New Testament
Feast: 28 February (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Nympha, or the masculine rendering Nymphas (fl. mid-1st century CE) was an early Christian leader noted in the New Testament for hosting a house church, as mentioned in Colossians 4:15–16. Her brief appearance in the Pauline epistle, generally dated to 62 CE, has led scholars to view her as an established and influential member of the early Christian community in the Lycus Valley region of Asia Minor (Turkey). Most scholars now agree that Nympha was female, contrary to the male reading found in some 5th-century Western text-type revisions.
