Euphrosyne of Mega Spilaion

Venerable Euphrosyne of Mega Spilaion was a shepherdess from the nearby village of Galata (today Zachlorou) in the Peloponnese, and often led her father's flock past a high rock. According to tradition, she is the one who led Simeon and Theodore to the cave where the icon of the Mother of God attributed to Saint Luke was found in the year 362.

The Greek synaxarion says that she found the icon, and the service of the saints was printed in Venice in 1706. The head and right hand of Euphrosyne are kept at Mega Spilaion Monastery, near Kalavryta, and her holy water is venerated by the faithful. She is commemorated on 18 October (new style), together with Simeon and Theodore.
