Philotheia of Curtea de Argeș, a humble soul, lived a life of profound piety. Her story tells of a young girl, persecuted by her stepmother. Driven from her home, Philotheia found refuge in the forest, where she lived a life of prayer and fasting, offering her simple loaves to the poor. Her stepmother, consumed by rage, eventually found her and, in a moment of cruel fury, struck Philotheia, killing her. Even in death, miracles followed, with her relics emitting a sweet fragrance.

Saint Philotheia, pray to God for us! Guide us toward compassion, and help us to follow the path of humility.
