Agafia (Maranciuc) of Cuselauca

Blessed Agafia (Maranciuc) of Cuselauca was a struggler in the folly for Christ who lived in Bessarabia and fell asleep in the Lord in 1843. She is linked with the women's monastery dedicated to the Dormition of the Mother of God at Cușelăuca (in Russian sources, Kushelevka).

Few data about her life are preserved. On 26 May 2016 the Synod of the Orthodox Church of Moldova examined the decision of the synodal canonization commission about numbering her among the locally venerated saints, and on 15 July 2016 the Synod of the Russian Church decided to number her among the locally venerated saints, together with Metropolitan Gavriil Bănulescu-⁠Bodoni. She is a locally venerated saint, with no commemoration in the calendar of the whole Church.
