The Lives of the Spiritual Mothers: An Orthodox Materikon of Women Monastics and Ascetics, Throughout the Year, According to the Church Calendar
| Translated and Compiled from the Greek of The Great Synaxaristes of the Orthodox Church and other sources
Volume 6 of Lives of the Saints Series
“This collection of Spiritual Mothers, or Materikon, contains more than fifty hagiographies about holy Orthodox nuns and ascetics. The holy Mothers of the Orthodox Church, setting their minds upon achieving the virtues, renounced the riches and the pleasures of this world. They understood that they could not be devotees to both this world and the future one. As good soldiers of Christ, they fought daily to immolate the passions that assail us. Many counted it joy to be cursed, censured, ground down, and even to be executed in the name of their Bridegroom, Jesus Christ.” —“Preface”
