They lived in complete simplicity. Even from the poverty they freely embraced, they shared what they had with those around them, revealing their merciful love.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe deeds of these two venerable mothers show us that authentic Christian life is undoubtedly a continual self-denial that gradually becomes a source of spiritual life for helping others. It was precisely this readiness for self-giving that made them, through the grace of the Holy Spirit, chosen vessels through whom many miracles were accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the conclusion of the ceremony, the abbesses of the monasteries of Corl\u0103\u021beni-Pojor\u00e2ta and Mestec\u0103ni\u0219 in Suceava County received from Patriarch Daniel two of the three reliquary icons of St Elizabeth of Pas\u0103rea.<\/p>\n<h2>St Philothea of Pas\u0103rea<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-558519\" src=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Icoane-Canonizare-13-593x890.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"593\" height=\"890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Icoane-Canonizare-13-593x890.jpg 593w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Icoane-Canonizare-13-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Icoane-Canonizare-13-240x360.jpg 240w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Icoane-Canonizare-13-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Icoane-Canonizare-13-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/basilica.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Icoane-Canonizare-13-1366x2048.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 440px, (max-width: 768px) 354px, 890px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>St Philothea of Pas\u0103rea, the mother of St Callinicus of Cernica, was born in Bucharest.
