Saint Theoktistē of Lesbos | The Hidden Saint Who Lived Alone With God

A young woman taken captive… a soul who fled into the wilderness…
Discover the miraculous and moving story of Saint Theoktistē (Theoctiste) of the Isle of Lesbos.

Once captured by raiders and carried away to slavery, Theoktistē escaped to a deserted island, where she lived alone with God for thirty-five years, nourished by faith and the seeds of wild sunflowers. Her story is one of courage, repentance, and divine peace.

This sacred tale, told through captivating illustrations and reverent narration, reveals the quiet glory of one who gave her whole life to God unseen, yet remembered forever in heaven.
