Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >
Hoy celebramos la fiesta de las Santas Tais y Pelagia
Las Santas Tais y Pelagia fueron dos mujeres pecadoras que se arrepintieron, encontraron la misericordia de Dios y se volvieron penitentes. Tais fue una meretriz de Alejandria y Pelagia una bailarina de Antioquia.

REDACCION CENTRAL (ACI Prensa) - De acuerdo a la leyenda, Santa Tais era una pecadora publica en Egipto del siglo IV que fue convertida por el Obispo egipcio de la Tebaida Superior, San Pafnucio, llevada a un convento y encerrada en una celda.
Luego de tres anos de penitencia fue liberada y ubicada entre las monjas, pero solo vivio catorce dias mas, muriendo penitente.
Es patrona de Alejandria y se la representa arropada con ricas y coloreadas sedas, con un espejo, simbolo de la coqueteria, y una gargantilla de perlas que representan sus riquezas mal adquiridas.
Por su parte Santa Pelagia era pagana, nacio en el siglo IV, y se convirtio al cristianismo gracias al Obispo de Antioquia.
Basto oirlo para que Dios la moviera a sincera conversion, pidiera el bautismo y cambiara sus danzas, sus mascaras y abalorios por la penitencia.
Una vez bautizada fue a Jerusalen y vivio tres anos en un monasterio del Monte de los Olivos bajo disfraz de hombre y haciendose llamar fray Pelagio. Es patrona de comicos y arrepentidos, y tiene por atributo una mascara teatral.
