Saint Cleopatra was a Christian saint born around 250 near Mount Tabor. After witnessing the martyrdom of Saint Varus, she moved his remains to her home in Daraa, Syria, to be buried with respect. Following the sudden death of her son, John, who had become a centurion, she sought comfort through prayer. After a dream involving the martyrs, she dedicated her life to religious devotion, living near the church she constructed over the graves of Varus and her son.
