Today, Wednesday April 24, according to the Calendarwe honor the memory of Saint Achilles the Hieromartyr, Saint Doukas, Pasikratus and Valentinos the Martyrs, Saint Elizabeth the Wonderworker and Saint Thaumastos.
Saint Elizabeth was a Christian, distinguished for her catechetical and charitable work. The Church, recognizing her contribution, classified her in the choir of the Osias. He came from Thrace and lived in the 5th century. Her birth had been prophesied by an angel of the Lord, who revealed to her mother that she would give birth to a daughter, who would be distinguished for her Christian work.
And indeed, from an early age Elizabeth distinguished herself in the ministry of her poor and suffering fellow human beings. In various ways she endeavored to persuade the rich to contribute to the comfort of the weak, while she taught, educated, and indoctrinated their children free of charge. She lived her whole life comforting the distressed and sorrowful and slept peacefully.
