This is just one of the many women though whose prayers our Church has been sustained from time immemorial through the graces and mercies of Christ.
They are the women who rise early to go to Divine Liturgy, no matter the time nor the day.
They are the women who are seen bringing beautiful and freshly cut flowers to adorn our Temples and the icons of Our Lord and the Theotokos.
They are the women who are seen in the cemetery lighting a candle and saying a pray for those who have fallen asleep in the Lord.
They are the women whose hands are calloused borne from years of hard work, but yet possess a gentle touch and a kind word.
They are the women who have dedicated their lives to God and through whose same dedication and love our Church has flourished, even when it faced persecution and complete destruction.
They are truly one of the best treasures that our Church has been blessed with and we should be ever so thankful for them.
