Venerable #Theodora of Sihla, born into wealth, embraced asceticism after a profound spiritual awakening. Distributing her possessions, she and her husband entered monastic life, only to face further trials with his passing. Seeking deeper solitude, she retreated to the Carpathian Mountains, dwelling in a cave near Sihla Monastery. For years, she endured harsh conditions, battling temptations and finding solace in unceasing prayer. Her life exemplified unwavering faith and devotion.

Holy Theodora, pray to #God for us to keep the #faith amidst life's adversities!
