Commemorated on November 14
Saint Theodora was the wife of St Justinian the emperor, and lived during the sixth century.
The
Empress Theodora was at first a notorious harlot and actress, and an
adherent of the Monophysite heresy, but then she repented. After
becoming empress, she led a virtuous life, maintaining purity of both
soul and body. She provided wise counsel for her husband during his
reign, and she also saved his throne during the Nika riots of 532
through her political intelligence and expertise.
St Theodora died in 548.

and He is the Way and the Truth and the Life.
