Beautiful 🙏🏻💖🙏🏻

St Olympia please pray for us. Thank you for this beautiful film about this beautiful Saint.

There are many great saints that still connect the Catholic Church to the Orthodox Church; she and Saint John Chrysostom are two of them.

💐💐💐🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨ A truly bright light at Olympia pray for us. 👃👃👃

I'd like to know more bout St. Olympias' ordination as a deaconess and why we still have no female deacons in the apostolic churches? What a blessing it would be to bring back this office which scripture describes for holy women and what powerful saints we might be have if we could have deaconesses back!! St. Olympias pray for us that we might be open as a church to this ministry too long supressed!

7:03, St.Chrysostom’s admiration of Olympia.

Olympias was born and raised either in Constantinople or Antioch. She was the daughter born to the Antiochian Greek noblewoman, Alexandra and the wealthy Greek Rhetor, Seleucus. Olympias was the namesake of her late paternal aunt Olympias, who was once engaged to the Roman emperor Constans, and who later married the Roman Client King of Arsacid Armenia Arsaces II (Arshak II). The paternal grandfather of Olympias was Flavius Ablabius, who had held consular rank in Constantinople, while her maternal uncle was Calliopius the Rhetor, who served as a grammaticus and assistant-teacher under the Rhetor, historian Libanius, and later served as a Roman official under the Roman emperors Constantius II and Julian the Apostate. Olympias is described as the ‘beloved daughter’ born to Seleucus and Alexandra. At eighteen years of age, Olympias married a nobleman called Nebridius who served as Prefect of Constantinople. But after two years of marriage, her husband died. After refusing many offers of marriage, she dedicated her life to the church, serving as a deaconess. She would later become a friend of Saint John Chrysostom. Her good works included building a hospital, an orphanage, and even looking after monks who had been led in exile from Nitria. All of this even led to John Chrysostom telling her that she had done almost too much. Her support for John Chrysostom led her to being exiled in 404, which resulted in her losing her house and living the rest of her life in exile at Nicomedia, where she would die on July 25, 408, after a long illness. Olympias is one of the 140 Colonnade Saints who adorn Saint Peter's Square.

Can you provide a bibliography for the information? In particular, I am looking for the book on her life, which I heard was written soon after her death by an unknown author.

Amen!

What women’s chant is that playing in the background?

What’s the name of the background music for the first portion??

It is "reconstructed eastern Roman music" What the music of "Byzantium" might have sounded like. The composer is Hristodoulos Halaris.

Please bring back deaconesses. I should pray on this. We need women's ministry. So much online orthodoxy is manly men and dude stuff. Its gard fonding any teachers who are women except nuns who are secluded. The nuns help a lot though with their testimonies. But some topics are too delicate for men to discuss. So much of christian sterotypical womenhood is about ignorance and obedience to the husband. We need equality like the scripture teaches. I think what I mean is we need living church role models for women and young girls. Ive never seen a nun at a church service in my city. I have to look to other young women. Plus women could pick up the slack for the priest more people could be brought to Christ. Theres a hatred to womem due to the pagan proliestesses and theres a fear that womem would "corrupt" things when we know women like st.olympia have existed. I hope I can be a single ounce as wise as her. Sometimes it feels like the men of my church say "I know better" and put away my ideas or witness. Because its too different from the gendered norms.

Maybe someone has already brought this up, but near the beginning it suggests that she had the choice as a widow to be married again or consecrate herself to 'virginity.' Well, unless her dead husband was shirking his duties she is not longer a virgin. Maybe it would have been better to say 'chastity' rather than virginity.

In the ascetic language of the early Church, the monastic life is seen as a life consecrated to "virginity" in that the people involved remain chaste for the rest of their life, but also pure in their souls in every other way. So, there is no differentiation between those who were married before and those who were not. This is not about physical bodily virginity, but about a life of purity in both body and soul. I hope this makes sense.

Be alot nicer without background music

Ordained to the diaconate? Sounds a lot like Holy Orders.

It was NOT a liturgical function. Today, women have significant influence on any parish especially by running the parish council. It's not ordained, but then again, there is no necessity for a formal ordination. Today's modernists are trying to exploit our ignorance about the 'deaconesses' (lit. female Church servants) of the early Church, which requires having some historical background.

What is meant by "Diaconate" here, is a recognition and tasking (setting aside for) a life of prayer and service to the Church and the community to which she was called. Deacons were similar but different. St Phoebe served the early church in the same way Olympia did ... In his Letter to the Romans 16:1 (AD 58) St Paul writes: "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is the servant of the church at Cenchreae.". The original Greek says: οὖσαν διάκονον, ousan diakonon, being [the] [female] servant of the church at Cenchreae. Note not as in the Divine Liturgical services, but a much deeper life of service and prayer.
