Tabitha
October 25, Holy Woman, Ταβιθά
St. Tabitha, called Dorcas in Greek, was a disciple of Christ living at Joppa in the days of the apostles. The Acts of the Apostles describes her as full of good works and almsgiving, sewing garments for the widows and the poor; when she fell sick and died, the Apostle Peter was summoned, and by his prayer God raised her from the dead.
