Saint Dasya the Soldier (Arabic: داسيا) or Daysa the Egyptian, was a Christian martyr of the third century.
He was born in Tanda, Egypt (Coptic: ⲑⲱⲓϯ, modern Tida in Kafr el-Sheikh Governorate),[1] and served as a soldier in the Roman army.
Refusing to deny Christ, Dasya was tortured by Arianus, governor of Ansena, who inflicted great tortures on him, eventually cutting off his head.
