Orthodox Christians celebrate the Day of the Holy Great Martyr Anastasia the Patternmaker every year on January 4. On behalf of her mother, a secret Christian, Saint Chrysogon introduced Anastasia to the teachings of Christ. However, her father married her to a pagan, who forbade her to help imprisoned Christians, feed, wash, or help the sick. He severely beat her for this and put her in prison. After the death of her husband, she distributed her property to the poor, spent everything on clothes, medicine and food for the prisoners and continued to help them, for which she received the name Pattern Maker. The emperor ordered her to be taken into custody and sent her to the priest Ullian so that he would force Anastasia to renounce her faith. But between instruments of torture and gifts, she chose the former. However, that time the execution did not take place, since the priest went blind when he tried to desecrate the girl. After new torments and tortures, the hegemon of Illyria executed Anastasia.
This saint is considered the patroness of prisoners and they pray to her for healing from illnesses, as well as for protection from witchcraft.
