What this episode covers

(Feast Day of Euphrosyne/Smaragdus, Monk - Sister Dana Augustine) Smaragdus, or Emerald, meaning new born, was a devout monk in a local community, honoured for her spiritual direction, even to her father, who didn't recognize her. We will never know if she considered herself trans, or a eunuch for Christ, but she found her place and served God faithfully.
