Saint Matrona
October 20th & July 15th
Troparion (Tone 8)
Through thee the divine likeness was securely preserved, O Mother
Matrona; for thou didst carry the cross and followed Christ. By
example and precept thou didst teach us to ignore the body because it
is perishable, and to attend to the concerns of the undying soul.
Therefore, doth thy soul rejoice with the angels.
St. Matrona lived during the first half of the fourteenth century.
She was born in Volissos on Chios. Her parents were pious
Christians blessed with wealth. From a young age, she was drawn
to the monastic life. St. Matrona left her parents and withdrew
into the wilderness and founded a small monastery for women.
Before long others joined her there. She is known for her
charity to the poor and sick. She performed miracles both during
her life and after death.
