Irene is remembered with her sisters Agape and Chionia. Their shared Orthodox life places the sisters near Aquileia and records that they were orphaned while young. During the persecution under Diocletian, they refused orders to renounce Christ. The Church commemorates the three sisters as martyrs on April 16. The surviving account tells their story together; it does not provide a separate account of each sister’s daily work or personal character.
Maria was the wife of Constantin Brâncoveanu and the mother of eleven children. The official life remembers her provision for sick people, orphans and people in poverty, as well as her support for churches and monasteries. After the execution of her husband and four sons in 1714, she endured imprisonment and exile. She later returned to Wallachia and helped preserve her family’s memory. She died in 1729.
Philothea was known as Floarea before entering monastic life. She and her husband Antonie raised four sons in Bucharest; one became Callinicus of Cernica.

Her fixed feast is April 12, although the reviewed 2026 calendar transferred her service to Easter Monday.
Eulogia was born Ecaterina in northern Greece and later lived in Romania. She carried out missionary work in villages before and after entering Samurcășești Monastery.

She died in 1554 and was buried at Curtea de Argeș.
Magdalena was also called Măndălina. After being widowed during the First World War, she continued a lay life devoted to worship.
