Today we celebrate the Venerable Nonna of Nazianzus. Saint Nonna was the mother of Saint Gregory the Theologian and wife of Saint Gregory of Nazianzus. Her son's oratory account of her is where we discover what kind of character Nonna really was. Being married to a pagan, she managed to convert him to Christ through her prayers, while also enduring many challenges in her life including losing two of her own children. She accepted these challenges with meekness and humility, never taking her focus off God and keeping unceasing prayer. Saint Nonna reposed in peace at an old age. She is considered the patron saint of mothers, along with the mothers of the other two hierarchs, Saints Basil the Great and John the Chrysostom. May she intercede for us always + #saint #nonna #nona #gregory #saintgregory #saintbasil #saintjohn #johnchrysostom #gregorythetheologian #theologian #mother #patron #patronsaint #prayer #humility #meekness #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Güzelyurt Köyü) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg2f8ZevjzT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
