Commemorated on November 14Saint 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.
