'''''Presbytera''''' (Gk. πρεσβυτέρα, pronounced - and sometimes spelt - '''presvytera''') is a Greek title of honor that is used to refer to a [[presbyter|priest]]'s wife. It is derived from ''presbyteros''—the Greek word for ''priest'' (literally, "elder"). Although 'Presbyteress' has an equivalent meaning, it has a very small usage: most English-speaking Orthodox Christians will use the title most common in the old country churches from which their local family or parish finds its origin.
