marigold Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Today, 18th August, is the one-year anniversary of the death of a young American sister of the Monastery of St. John near Larisa in Greece. Sister Theokliti (which means 'called by God') was from Washington State, and entered the monastery with along with a friend. She was tonsured in May 2014 and died in August, at the age of 30. In a small tribute I read that anyone who met her, even for a short time, would have proclaimed her worthy of the monastic tonsure. This video was made by one of her sisters in the monastery. Memory eternal, Sister! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spem in alium Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Just from her pictures, it is clear she was a radiant person. God be with her Sisters, and all who loved her. May she rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
