Saint Pelagia of Antioch

Pelagia, distinguished as Pelagia of Antioch and Pelagia the Penitent, was a Christian saint who lived during the 4th or 5th century. She is known for her extreme asceticism, which led to her emaciation so severe that she could no longer be recognized. According to Orthodox tradition, Pelagia died in 457 and was buried on the Mount of Olives....
