Life

Saint Irene of Raithu lived at Raithu, on the Sinai peninsula. Her memory appears in the old Kanonarion of Jerusalem together with that of Saint Plantinus and the venerable Marina of Raithu. The Greek synaxarion preserves nothing of her life.

She is commemorated on 21 October, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece.
