Date: June 9
 * Lesson Plan #1**

__//**4th Grade Teacher - Becca & Allegra**//__  **Saint:** St. Anastasia

Saint Anastasia was born to a Pagan father and a mother who was secretly Christian. In disguise, Anastasia visited jails to take care of the prisoners that were sick, hungry, and lonely. These people were imprisoned because of their belief in God. Eventually her husband (also a Pagan) found out and gave her three days to deny her faith in God. She told him she would always be faithful and he sent her to jail. Anastasia was refused food, but God saved her from starvation. She was sent aboard a ship with holes but instead of sinking, found its way to shore. Saint Anastasia stayed strong in her faith and eventually died because of it.
