Thekla the Protomartyr

Equal-to-the-Apostles

Commemorated September 24

The holy, glorious and right-victorious Protomartyr Thekla (or Thecla ) devoted her life to God at a time when all Christians were shunned. Her feast day is celebrated on September 24 . The Church has given her the title Equal-to-the-Apostles for her missionary zeal in evangelizing pagans.
