Greetings all,
Today we commemorate Aelia Pulcheria
becoming Regent and Empress after 13 year old Emperor Theodosius II
willingly yielded the throne to her on July 4th in 414 AD:
Aelia Pulcheria reigned for three years until her death by natural
causes. Theodosius II thereafter became full Emperor. Aelia Pulcharia is canonized as a Saint in the Orthodox Church and her
Feast Day is September 10.
