Today we celebrate the Venerable Tabitha (Dorcas) the Merciful Widow. Saint Tabitha was the woman raised from the dead by the Apostle Peter in Joppa, as recorded in Acts 9, after she had fallen grievously ill. She was a seamstress by trade and gave generously to the poor. After her raising, she continued to do good deeds and to live by the Gospel until she reposed peacefully at an old age. May she intercede for us always + #saint #tabitha #dorcas #venerable #merciful #seamstress #apostle #peter #stpeter #apostlepeter #raisedfromthedead #resurrection #gospel #jesuschrist #jesus #christ #widow #orthodox #saintoftheday (at Jaffa, Israel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvT7stJ10U/?igshid=k02mos4phyun
