Her hymns, sung during the early mornin and evening church services, provide examples of saints – anchorites, ascetics and converted harlots. The examples, described in a poetic way, show the way to sanctity by conversion, repentance, and piety, at times bordering on madness. Remarkably, Cassia dedicated a number of her songs to women, underlining their role in human salvation.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Harlots, Madmen and Saints.
