St Mary of Palestine

She was at first a reader of the Psatter in the Church of the Resurrection in Jerusalem, but, being beautiful, she was a source of scandal to the sinful-minded. In order not to be a cause of sin in others, Mary withdrew to the wilderness of Souka with a basket of beans and a flask of water. She spent eighteen years in the desert and, by God"s power, never lacked either beans nor water. Disciples of St Cyriacus found her during her lifetime, and later buried her.
