Saint Tais lived in Alexandria, Egyptwhile Saint Pelagia did it in Antioch, Türkiye at the moment. Both, being very young, They were seduced by debauchery, lust and the influence of pagan culture that surrounded them.
However, despite this, When they received the announcement of the Gospel they left everything behind to follow his example and thus repair the damage they did to themselvessearching for the path of holiness.
The story tells that Tais was a famous prostitute, who lived before Saint Pelagia. Earthly riches and worldly winks They led her to the path of perditionand the people around her believed that it was his return to the Faith impossible.
However, then, An encounter with Saint Pafnutius made her reflect, which led to her conversion to lead a penitent life until the moment of his death. Saint Tais is Patroness of Alexandria.
For its part, Pelagia was a courtly dancer far from the path of God and part of a hedonistic life. Although it seemed his return to the Lord impossibleProvidence put the appropriate instruments on his path to prosecute it.
