Venerable Athanasia, Abbess of Aegina: A Life of Humility and Healing

Today we remember Venerable Athanasia, the abbess of a women's monastery on the island of Aegina in the ninth century. From a young age, she was deeply devoted to God, enduring many trials including widowhood and forced remarriage, yet she remained steadfast in her faith and humility. Saint Athanasia founded a monastery, led her sisters with love and meekness, and was known for her ascetic life and gift of healing. Her holy relics became a source of miracles, and her life continues to inspire those seeking to serve God with humility and compassion.Support the show
