==Life==
St. Matrona was the servant of a Jewish woman named Pantilla, the wife of the governor of [[Thessalonica]]. When Matrona refused to follow her mistress into the [[synagogue]], Pantilla beat her so severely that she died a few days later, and thus received the crown of her confession.<ref>[http://home.iprimus.com.au/xenos/matrona.html St Matrona of Thessalonica] ([[GOAA]])</ref>
