It was she who became the stepmother of Israel and the beloved of King Ahasuerus, which led to the destruction of the House of Israel. However, later, after the Israelites returned from the Babylonian exile and founded Constantinople (Istanbul), the name Kanida began to be associated with defenders and heroines, for example, Kanida, one of the four martyrs subjected to martyrdom in the form of death by torture in the Roman Empire.
