'''Saint Pelagia of Antioch''' was a [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] [[Saints|saint]] and penitent of the 4th or 5th century, celebrated for her dramatic conversion from a life of frivolity to one of asceticism and holiness. Born in [[Antioch]], [[Syria]], she was a renowned actress and dancer, often called "Pelagia the Harlot" or "Margaret" due to her former life of luxury and immorality. Her conversion, inspired by the preaching of [[Saint Nonnus]], [[Bishop of Edessa]], led her to embrace [[Christianity]] and live as a hermit in [[Jerusalem]], where she became a model of repentance in the [[Roman Rite]]. | |||
Pelagia’s transformation from a life of wealth and sin to one of extreme penance made her an enduring symbol of redemption, influencing parishes and devotees in the [[Diocese of Antioch]]. Her legacy includes reported miracles, particularly healings, attributed to her intercession. Her feast day, October 8, is observed in the Roman Rite, and she is venerated as a patroness of actresses, penitents, and converts, with her primary shrine at the Mount of Olives in [[Jerusalem]]. | |||
