Calendar for September 24 Venerable Theodora
At the persuasion of some witch doctor, he committed adultery. Immediately, her conscience began to bite her angrily. And he cut his hair, put on a man's suit and entered the men's monastery Octodekat, under the name Theodore. With great effort, fasting, vigil, humility and tearful repentance, she amazed all the brothers. When some harlot slandered that I got pregnant with her, she didn't want to justify herself. Expelled from the monastery, she lived in the woods for 7 years, nurturing the harlot's child. It was there that she overcame the overwhelming demonic temptations. Then the abbot of the monastery took her back, where she rested in the Lord after 2 years. Only then did he see that it was a woman. Her husband came to the funeral and stayed in his wife's cell until he died. Saint Theodora had a great grace from God. She died in 490.
Saint Paphnutius the Confessor. Venerable Ephrosine the Cook. Holy Martyr Ia. Holy Martyrs Diodorus, Didymus and Diomid. Venerable Sergius and Germanus.
