About Saint Pelagia of Antioch
Pelagia of Antioch is remembered as a young Christian who died during an early fourth-century persecution. John Chrysostom later praised her determination to preserve fidelity to Christ when soldiers came to seize her, though the surviving account reflects the rhetoric of its era and details remain uncertain. Her ancient commemoration honors fearless discipleship.
