 Greetings all, 


Today we commemorate the life of Theodora Palaiologina, the Empress of Nicea, who passed on March 4th in 1303 AD: 


The Empress Theodora was the wife of Michael Palaiologos and the mother to Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos.  She was a great patroness of monasteries, and promoted both scholarship and the production of manuscripts. 

-Marcus Cassius Julianus
