Maria Khidanskaya, reverend

Mary, the niece of Saint Abraham the Recluse, grew up, edified by his spiritual instructions. But the enemy of the human race managed to seduce her from the true path. At the twenty-seventh year of her life, she left her cell, went to another city and began to live dissolutely. Learning about this, the Monk Abraham dressed himself in military armor, so as not to be recognized, and set off for the city. He found his niece and brought her to repentance.
