Venerable #Theodora of Sihla, once a wife of noble birth, embraced monasticism with a burning desire to live solely for #Christ. After years of prayer and asceticism in a hermitage near her monastery, she retreated even further, into the wild Carpathian Mountains. There, in a solitary cave, she spent decades in profound repentance and prayer, battling temptations and growing in divine love until her holy repose.
Holy Theodora, pray to #God for us!
