Matrona

Saint Matrona was a nun of Cyzicus, commemorated together with Saint Tryphaena. Both struggled from their youth in the monastic life, in fasting and prayer.

According to the source, they had no cell: they wore a small garment, prayed by night and day, and rested only a little on the ground. They foresaw their end and, after making the sign of the Cross, gave their souls to God. After their repose many miracles took place.

Matrona is commemorated on 11 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). She should not be confused with Matrona of Thessalonica, commemorated on 27 March.
