Saints Zenaida and Philonella were sisters and came from Tarsus in Cilicia. From a young age they showed deep love for the Lord and helped anyone in need, as they knew the art of medicine. They spent the last years of their lives in a cave in the town of Demitriada, where they healed many sick people and performed miracles. The two sisters slept peacefully in the cave. Their memory is honored on October 11.
