Saint Pelagia The Orthodox Church has to present dozens of saints who managed to embody the assurance of the Lord "the tax collectors and prostitutes, who lead a life against the law of God but repent sincerely and in practice, catch the kingdom of God, in contrast to those who only show obedience with words, while their actions declare disbelief and unbelief". Osia Pelagia is among the women who showed her repentance through actions. She lived in Antioch in the middle of the 3rd century as a prostitute and although she came from a rich family, she constantly sought riches and plunged into debauchery for them. However, her path brought her by chance to a gathering of Christians where she heard the words of Bishop Nonnos, words that shocked her and led her to other ways of thinking and to the true faith. She gave all her property to the poor, was catechized and baptized, and spent the rest of her life in Jerusalem living as an ascetic.
