✝️ St Thecla | 24 September

This Thursday, 24 September, Orthodox Christians commemorate St Thecla, the Great Martyr and Equal-to-the-Apostles.

According to the Orthodox tradition, Thecla was from Iconium and was 18 when she heard the Apostle Paul teaching about Christ. She chose to follow the Christian faith and a life of dedication to Christ. The tradition tells of her enduring persecution and surviving attempts to kill her, including being exposed to fire and wild animals. She continued to share the Christian faith and is traditionally said to have died peacefully in Seleucia of Cilicia at the age of 90.

Her feast has a particularly special connection to Cyprus. The Convent of Agia Thekla, a women’s monastery situated about 500 metres south of Mosfiloti in Larnaca District, celebrates its annual feast on 24 September. The Church of Cyprus records the monastery as a place dedicated to the memory of St Thecla and confirms that it celebrates its feast on her day.

The feast is a significant occasion locally, with the monastery welcoming pilgrims and special services taking place around the celebration. The Church of Cyprus has also documented senior clergy celebrating the Divine Liturgy at the monastery on 24 September in previous years.

For us at St Andrew’s RAF Akrotiri, it is a lovely opportunity to recognise the Christian heritage of the island we call home, and to remember a woman whose story has been carried through the Christian tradition for centuries.

May St Thecla’s example of courage, perseverance and devotion inspire us in our own lives and faith.
