Saint Pelagia
Antiochene saint
Feast: 8 October (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
Pelagia (Ancient Greek: Πελαγία, d. 457), distinguished as Pelagia of Antioch, Pelagia the Penitent, and Pelagia the Harlot, was a Christian saint and hermit in the 4th or 5th century. Her feast day was celebrated on 8 October, originally in common with Saints Pelagia the Virgin and Pelagia of Tarsus. Pelagia died as a result of extreme asceticism, which had emaciated her to the point she could no longer be recognized. According to Orthodox tradition, she was buried in her cell on the Mount of Olives.
