What a church holiday today, June 9

June 9 in the church calendar – the day of memory of St. Feodora of Alexandria. She lived approximately in the III-IV century in Alexandria. In those days, there was a brutal persecution of Christians. So they brought her to court and asked why she was still single. A Christian woman who decided to devote her life to the Lord answered this. For this, she was first thrown into prison, and then sent to a house of prostitutes.

Feodora was saved from disgrace by a soldier who broke into the room, dispersed the men and gave the woman clothes. For this, the brave man was executed together with the girl, and their bodies were then burned.
