She is remembered on January 4 in the Greek tradition and on January 5 in the Slavic Tradition.

Christ is Trying to Give You Something Better- Trials and Being Stripped of Our False Identity
มุมมอง 15921 วันที่ผ่านมา
Today I am sharing two difficult periods in my life where I felt like God was stripping me of who I thought I was. It was painful. I was raw. It didn't make sense at the time. But I learned to trust God, that He was trying to give me something better, trying to show me who I really am. I just had to align my will with His, no matter the cost. I hope you find this helpful.

    • @OrthodoxFamilyLife
      @OrthodoxFamilyLife 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It is a very difficult reading. I posted it as part of the Christmas narrative, but I did pause before posting it, asking myself what the benefit was to such a devastating story. In the end, I posted it because it is the truth and part of the story of God becoming Man. It is easy to make Nativity like a Hallmark movie, but the truth is that there was an element of loss, weeping, and tragedy to the story as well. I think we lose something if we forget the innocents. Definitely made me think of the mothers I know who have lost children. It is a comfort to know they are with God, and I think that is why people love the icon above so much. ❤

I find hearing the stories of the saints really helps me to put my own struggles into context. It is like we can borrow their faith and patience, to help us stay faithful through our own struggles. Can you imagine reading this in jail? Or writing this to someone in jail? It shows a beautiful connection, love and trust between two people.
