Wonderworker and Model of Obedience, Purity, and Trust in God
Saint Irene Chrysovalantou (9th century) was a revered abbess and wonderworking saint of the Byzantine Church, known for her deep humility, obedience, and extraordinary closeness to God. As abbess of the Monastery of Chrysovalantou in Constantinople, she lived a life of intense prayer, fasting, and spiritual discipline, guiding her sisters with wisdom and gentleness.
Saint Irene is especially remembered for the miraculous gift of apples sent to her from Saint John the Evangelist in Ephesus, a sign of God’s favor and a lasting symbol of hope, blessing, and divine provision. For this reason, she is widely venerated as an intercessor for patience, perseverance, fertility, and the fulfillment of God’s will in times of waiting.
She is honored throughout the Eastern Orthodox Church and increasingly loved by Eastern Catholics for her quiet strength and unwavering faith. Her life reminds us that obedience and trust, even when unseen, bear fruit in God’s perfect time.
Each Saint Irene Chrysovalantou Prayer Card is hand-made and made to order, created with reverent care and intentionally covered in prayer from beginning to end. During its creation, prayers are offered for the person who will receive it, making every card a true act of intercession and devotion.
