Theodora of Alexandria was a saint and Desert Mother who was married to a prefect of Egypt. In order to perform penance for adultery, she disguised herself as a man and, pretending to be a eunuch, joined a monastery in the Thebaid. Her true identity as a woman was discovered only after her death. A rare image of Theodora in Western art is a print by Bernardino Capitelli, made in 1627 for Theodora Costa dal Pozzo, showing the saint disguised as a monk and caring for the child she was accused of fathering (Vienna: Graphische Sammlung Albertina).

В течение восьми лет она несла различные тяжёлые послушания, подвизалась в молитвах и всенощных бдениях, вызывая своими подвигами удивление иноков. Феодора была послана игуменом в Алек (ru)
