Euphrasia of Constantinople was a 4th-century nun recognized for her profound piety and charitable nature. Born in Constantinople to a nobleman named Antigonus, she eventually moved to an Egyptian monastery with her mother. Despite being promised to a senator by Emperor Theodosius I, she refused the marriage to dedicate her life to Christ. She requested that her wealth be distributed to the impoverished and that her servants be freed, fulfilling her wishes through the emperor's intervention.
