Our Righteous Mother Elizabeth the Wonderworker.
Saint Elizabeth was born in Heraclea of Thrace. She lived in virginity and exhausted herself with ascetical labors and every kind of hardship from the time of her youth, and was deemed worthy of the grace of wonderworking from God; she reposed in peace in Constantinople in the middle of the fifth century.
