Our venerable Mother Elizabeth the Wonderworker of Constantinople (also called Elizabeth the Dragon-slayer) was an abbess. Although some sources say she reposed in the year 540, others maintain that dates from the sixth through the ninth century are possible. Her feast day is celebrated on April 24.

Life

From an early age and throughout her life, Elizabeth manifested holiness through strict asceticism. She became a nun at the Convent of Ss. Cosmas and Damian in Constantinople.

After her repose, her relics, and even the soil around her grave became known for healing the sick and suffering.

In some icons, she is shown having triumphed over a dragon. Her feast day follows that of St. George the Dragon-slayer.
