St. Isidora lived as a nun in the convent of the Great Pachomios in Tabenna of Egypt, along with four hundred other nuns. She pretended to be mad and demonized for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. She did all kinds of chores and served the Monastery, having tied a rag on her head. The other nuns did not eat with her and even slapped and cursed her. Isidora, however, endured insults with restraint and faith in God. At one point appeared to Saint Piteroum an angel of the Lord and told him to go to the Tabenna monastery where he would find a nun wearing a rag on her head. When Isidora appeared before him, Piteroum recognized her rag, fell at her feet and asked to bless him. The other nuns, hearing all this, confessed the insults they made to the Saint and asked her to forgive them. Isidora, unable to bear their apologies, secretly left the Monastery. She slept in peace in the year 365 AD. The Orthodox Church celebrates her memory on May 1 of each year.
