Those Who Taught

God showed many women to be teachers of the Faith, whether by word or by example. The foremost of these is the Theotokos, while Apostolic Saints, Holy Mothers, and Monastics also did a great deal.

However, there are also other Saints known especially for their learning and education, or for their teaching abilities.

  1. Ia the Teacher, New Martyr of China (#7, Individual saints)
