Saint Theodosia of Constantinople | The Nun Who Defended the Icon of Christ
In 8th-century Constantinople, during the time of Byzantine Iconoclasm, a young Christian nun named Saint Theodosia stood with the faithful to defend the holy icon of Christ. Born in answer to prayer, raised in a monastery, and known for giving her inheritance to the poor, Saint Theodosia became a virgin martyr for the truth that Christ truly became man, and that His holy image could be honored by the faithful. This reverent Christian saint story for children tells the life, courage, martyrdom, and lasting memory of Saint Theodosia of Constantinople, a beloved pre-schism saint from the early Christian centuries. Her story is shared by Christians who cherish the saints of the ancient Church, including Orthodox Christians, Catholics, Eastern Catholics, and families from other Christian traditions who honor the saints of the early Church. Saint Theodosia of Constantinople is commemorated on May 29 in Eastern Christian calendars. Some Catholic calendars remember her on July 18. This story is especially meaningful for families learning about: early Christian saints, ancient Constantinople, Christian courage, holy icons, Byzantine history, the saints before the Great Schism, and the faithful examples of Christian martyrs. May Saint Theodosia of Constantinople pray for us.
