Saint Matrona was from Perga in Pamphylia, and lived in the fifth century; she
was wedded to a husband and bore him a daughter. After her husband's
death, she entrusted her daughter to a certain woman she knew, and
then passed her life in asceticism in Constantinople, living almost
one hundred years.
Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone:
In thee the image was preserved with exactness, O Mother; for taking
up thy cross, thou didst follow Christ, and by thy deeds thou didst
teach us to overlook the flesh, for it passeth away, but to attend
to the soul since it is immortal. Wherefore, O righteous Matrona,
thy spirit rejoiceth with the Angels.
Kontakion in the Second Tone:
While dwelling 'midst men, with fasting thou didst waste thy flesh,
and thou didst devote thyself unto unceasing prayers; thus, Matrona,
thou didst piously serve the Master in Whose behalf thou forsookest
all things, O Saint, and broughtest thy life to its end righteously.
