Venerable Theodora of Sihla, a Carpathian ascetic, fled to the wilderness after her husband's death, disguising herself as a man. She endured harsh conditions, and demonic temptations, yet she remained steadfast in prayer and fasting. One day, she was captured by robbers who threatened to kill her, but she prayed and they suddenly became terrified and fled. She lived for many years in a cave, known for her humility, wisdom, and miraculous healings, and reposed in peace. Holy Theodora, pray to God for us, and for the salvation of our souls!
