Venerable #Theodora of Sihla, once a noblewoman named Teodora, embraced monasticism after years of marriage. Seeking deeper communion with #God, she withdrew to the Carpathian Mountains, dwelling in a cave near Sihla Monastery. For decades, she lived as a hermit, enduring harsh conditions with unwavering faith and fervent #prayer. Legend says she was miraculously sustained by ravens bringing her food. Her repentance and dedication transformed her into a beacon of light, guiding others to Christ.

Venerable Theodora, intercede for us, that we may find the same strength in repentance and devotion.
