Holy Macrina



It is known that her main prayer was the daily singing of the entire Psalter. However, according to the testimony of St. Gregory, the great Cappadocian, she “became for us a teacher of life, a mother, or the one who replaced a mother … she was for us a strong fortress and a shield” (Letter 19.6).


A spiritual mother? Or just a mother?
