Description
Today the Traditional Catholic Church also celebrates the Feast of Holy, Saint Olympias. She was the glory of widows in the Eastern Church, she was also of a noble and wealthy family. She became an orphan at a young age, then was brought up by Theodosia, sister of Saint Amphilochius, a virtuous and Holy woman. Olympias, insensibly reflected the virtues of this estimable woman. She married quite young, then her husband died within twenty days after their wedding. She declined any other offers for her hand, and resolved to consecrate her life to prayer and other good works, and to share her fortune with the poor. Nectarius, Archbishop of Constantinople, had a high esteem for the saintly widow, and made her a deaconess of his church, the duties of which were to prepare the altar linen and to attend to other matters of that sort. Saint Chrysostom, who succeeded Nectarius, also had respect for Olympias, but he refused to attend to the distribution of her alms. Our Saint was one of the last to leave Saint Chrysostom when he went into banishment on the 20th of June, in the year 404. After his departure she suffered great persecution, and was crowned a virtuous life by a saintly death, about the year 410.
Reflection: βLay not up to yourselves treasures on earth, but in Heaven, where neither rust nor moth doth consume.β
