New Open Access Publication by CeMAR Director Prof. Stavroula Constantinou

CeMAR is pleased to announce the open access publication of a new book chapter by Director Prof. Stavroula Constantinou, titled:
“Mother’s Time: The Temporality of Motherhood in the Life of Martha and the Life of Symeon Stylite the Younger.”

This compelling chapter explores the figure of Martha, mother of Symeon Stylite the Younger, as a central narrative agent. Through her maternal practices, Martha not only shapes the storyline and her son’s spiritual journey, but also attains sainthood herself. The chapter offers a profound reflection on the temporal dynamics of motherhood within hagiographical tradition.
