Today’s short episode is about St. Anastasia the martyr - a fitting saint for this week, since her name means “Resurrection.” This is such an inspiring story for anyone who feels trapped by their circumstances. It is also a demonstration of the real power of a praying wife.

Here are the sources I used (in addition to the Coptic Orthodox Antiphonary):

The Martyrdom of St. Anastasia

Great Martyr Anastasia the Deliverer from Poisons

As I announced on the podcast, mark your calendars for a LIVE event with author Michael Elgamal to talk about his new book, Moses: the Cross and the Gun. This book was on my Lent book list, and I loved it so much I ran a giveaway for it, too.
