Sr. Veronica’s Autobiography

Sister Veronica, originally from southern California, first encountered the Orthodox Church by attending services for Pascha at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. Nine months later, back in southern California, she was baptized into the Orthodox Church. Several years later, in obedience to a call she had felt periodically throughout her life, she decided to enter the monastic life. She has been a nun at the monastery of the Twelve Apostles in Karditsa, Greece, for the past 4 1/2 years.
