What a church holiday tomorrow June 11
June 11 in the church calendar – Memorial Day of Saint Feodosia. He was born in Constantinople to a pious and wealthy family. Her mother prayed to God daily to send her a child. She promised to give the child to the church. The woman’s prayer was heard, and when a daughter was born, she raised her in the fear of God. After the death of her husband, Feodosia was immediately sent to a monastery. When her mother also died, the girl sold all her possessions and became a monk.
Together with other saints, Feodosia fought against heresy. This was during the reign of Leo the Armenian. She once exposed the Emperor with contempt and openly preached Christianity. For this, she was captured, subjected to terrible torture, and then burned in a furnace.
