Life
Holy Martyr Thecla is a saint named in some service books, with no life preserved in the source we rely on. The calendar page says only that her commemoration is listed in the Handbook for Clergy (Moscow, 1978, volume two) under 27 November (10 December, new style) and that the martyr is not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.
We have no other certain information about her place, time or life, so we add nothing.
