Mary of Egypt was born in Egypt during the reign of Justinian. From the age of 12 years old, she lived in Alexandria, where he lived a dissolute life. Searching for new adventures, she went to Jerusalem at the age of 29. One day, a great mass of people had gathered in the city for the Feast of the Elevation of the Holy Cross. Suddenly, as if by a miracle, “she saw the true light” and after praying before and venerating the Holy Cross, she decided to abandon her most ancient of professions to go live as an ascetic in the desert, where she remained for 47 years. During this time, she lived naked and was nourished on the Grace of God alone. Abba Zosima, the only man who ever saw her in the desert, described her as “a shadow that resembled a human body”. According to her biographer, she died on Holy Thursday on the 1st of April, which has also been designated the day on which the Church celebrates her holy memory. Work of ARTIS GILDING & RESTORING.
