- St Matrona of Thessalonica (4th c.)
- She was a servant of the Jewish wife of the governor of
Thessalonica. When she refused to enter the synagogue with her mistress,
she was beaten, then locked in a cell until she starved to death.
Finally, her mistress ordered her body thrown from the roof of the house
and left to lie in the open. Christians took her body and buried it
honorably, and the bishop, Alexander, built a church over her grave. The
bishop of the city erected a church over her grave.
