Commemoration of Saint Euphrosyne of Alexandria
Overview
Saint Euphrosyne of Alexandria, described as a ‘gem of Orthodoxy,’ was a 5th-century figure who transitioned from a wealthy upbringing in Alexandria to a monastic life. To pursue a life of chastity and avoid marriage, she disguised herself as a man and lived in a monastery for 38 years.
On September 25, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church commemorates the feast days of Saint Euphrosyne alongside Saint Sergius of Radonezh. This date serves as a name day for individuals named Sergey, Evfrosiniya, and Evrosina.
