Damaris

Damaris (kwa Kigiriki: Δάμαρις) alikuwa mwanamke wa Athene katika karne ya 1. 

Matendo ya Mitume (17:34) kinamtaja kati ya wale waliomsikiliza Mtume Paulo alipohubiri kwenye  Areopago mwaka 50 hivi. Pamoja na Dionysius Mwareopago alisadiki maneno yake "Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them."

Baadaye tu wengine walianza kudhani alikuwa mke wa Dionysius.Mark W. Hamilton, Thomas H. Olbricht, Jeffrey Peterson (eds.), Renewing Tradition: Studies in Texts and Contexts in Honor of James W. Thompson (2006),

She may be a foreigner, since women  of Athens would not likely have been present (Witherington 1998: 533)...

Tangu kale anaheshimiwa na Waorthodoksi kama mtakatifu.

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa tarehe 3 Oktoba ambayo ni sawa na 16 Oktoba katika kalenda ya Gregori.
