Story of her life here.
Prayer for blessing of her apples here.
Story of a miracle here.
She is my first patron saint and the one I was
chrismated with!
When I found her story in the church bulletin,
just days before I was chrismated,
I knew she was the one I wanted to take
as my patron Saint.
While St. Elizabeth the Mother of John the Baptist is my name's Saint
my first Patron and Mother is
St. Irene of Chrysovalantou!
Her day on the new calendar is today!
May her prayers protect us all
and grant us Christ's peace!

May we all be blessed by her prayers, especially you, my dear friend!
What a beautiful story! I remember when we went to the new calendar Greek monastery in Boston that they would give dried apples on this feast. ♥ P.S. I think you meant "HER day" instead of "Here day"...
thanks Martha! fixed it! :)
