Female Saints?

by | May 12, 2013 | For Soul and Body | 0 comments

Have you ever heard that only men are canonized in the Church? Well that is NOT true. There are more than 686 female saints, and feasts dedicated to the Mother of God or her wonder working icons, who are officially recognized on the Church calendar. The Antiochian Orthodox Church created a list of female saints from the liturgical calendar year. The Antiochian Church is from the Middle East and we share a common Byzantine Tradition with them; in other words, we have the same Liturgical calendar. Please follow the links to learn more about these saints.
