Kalia

Saint Kalia was a woman renowned for her almsgiving: out of Christian compassion she gave with an open hand to the wretched, both as a maiden and later as a married woman. Her husband was rich but stingy. Returning once from a business trip, he saw that his wife had squandered his wealth on the poor, and he killed her.

God glorified this merciful soul, for many sick were healed by her relics. Seeing this, the holy Patriarch Anthony built a monastery over her relics. The Serbian Church commemorates her on 12 February by the old calendar (25 February by the new).
