Blessed Mother Macrina

Tuesday, February 18, 2025

Our holy Mother Makrina, the abbess of a monastery in central Greece, is venerated for her personal holiness of life and has been called “The Grandmother of the revival of Orthodox Monastic Life in America”.

Mother Makrina was born in 1921 with the name Maria Vassopoulou and from a young age was attracted to the things of God. When she was seven she declared to her parents that she wanted to become a nun. Her father asked “Have you ever seen a nun?” Maria replied, “No, but I believe this will help me to reach God”.
