Life
Holy Right-Believing Elfleda of Glastonbury (Aelflead) was a princess who lived as an anchoress, in prayer, at Glastonbury Abbey in England, and reposed around 936. Saint Dunstan revered her. She is a saint of the undivided Church. The sources consulted say no more of her life. The calendars commemorate on the same day Saint Ethelfleda, abbess of Romsey, who reposed around 970 and is a different person.
She is commemorated on 23 October, the liturgical date in the Orthodox calendar (the same day number on the old and new calendars).
