Monastic and Teacher
b. 324
d. 379

This day we commemorate Macrina (the Younger), who is the granddaughter of Macrina (the Elder), the daughter of Saint Basil (the Elder), and the sister of Saint Basil the Great and other saintly siblings.

Collect:

Merciful God, thou didst call thy servant Macrina to reveal in her life and her teaching the riches of thy grace and truth: May we, following her example, seek after thy wisdom and live according to her way; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
