Feast Day: May 6th
The Life of Saint Sophia Kleisoura: Her soul breathed Christ and the Panagia with her simple and humble love. “One is the Lord and one is the Lady”, she would say of Christ and the Panagia, “the rest of us are all siblings.”

Prayers
Apolytikion: O Blessed Mother Sophia, you became wise, and the adornment of the Mother of God, and you lived your life in the Monastery ascetically, from which have spread the praise of your struggles, striking the ranks of the demons. And as you stand as an intercessor before Christ, do not neglect those who honour you with fervour.
Kontakion: You became a treasury of Divine wisdom and all-consuming fear [of God], O Mother Sophia; through your motherly intercessions, O Blessed one, you offer to all the richness of Grace.
Megalynarion: Being made Spiritually wise, O Mother, you passed the whole of your life in utter patience, and now you are made to dwell in the beauty of your Bridegroom, in His bridal chamber.
