Venerable Euphrosyne of Suzdal

Life

Her baptismal name was Theodula. The daughter of Michael Vsevolodovich and the betrothed of Prince Mina of Suzdal. She had no desire whatsoever for marriage and prayed to God to preserve her as a maiden until death. When they were taking her as a bride to Suzdal, Prince Mina, her betrothed, suddenly died. She did not return to her parents but entered a monastery, where she practiced asceticism until her death. She was endowed by God with the gift of wonderworking. She reposed in the year 1250.
