Blessed Virgin Musa

Life

Saint Gregory the Dialogist relates that she was only nine years old when the Most Holy Theotokos appeared to her twice, surrounded by radiant virgins. When Musa expressed the desire that she too might be in such a radiant retinue of the Heavenly Queen, the Theotokos told her that in one month She would come for her and take her. She further instructed her how she should live during those thirty days. On the twenty-fifth day Musa took to her bed, and on the thirtieth day the Most Holy and Pure One appeared to her again, calling her with a quiet voice, to which Musa answered: "Here I come, my Lady, here I come!" And she gave up her spirit. She passed from her life into the eternal in the first century.
