Orthodox Church commemorates Saints Euphrosyne and Sergius

On September 25, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church commemorates the feast days of Saint Euphrosyne of Alexandria and Saint Sergius of Radonezh.

Saint Euphrosyne of Alexandria lived in the 5th century. Seeking a monastic life, she lived in a monastery for 38 years, presenting herself as a man until her death.

Saint Sergius of Radonezh, born around 1314, was a significant spiritual leader who founded the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius. He is recognized for his influence on Russian monasticism and his role as a spiritual advisor to Moscow princes. Those named Sergey, Evfrosiniya, and Evrosina celebrate their name days on this date.
