Biography (in English) - Βιογραφικό (στα Ελληνικά)
Saint Philothei of Athens, née Revoula Benizelos, (1545? - 1589) was a Greek Orthodox religious sister, martyr and saint from Ottoman-era Greece. Philothei was born in Athens to an illustrious and wealthy family. Against her will, she was married at the age of 14 to the noble Andrea Chila, who mistreated her. When he died in 1539, she was only 17, beautiful and wealthy and her parents insisted that she get remarried. Instead, she remained at home, spending much of her time in prayer. The family wealth gave her the opportunity for charitable work, and while still a young woman she had gained the respect and love of the community. When her parents died Philothei found herself the owner of extensive holdings. She took up the monastic life, establishing women's monasteries. There the young nuns taught handiwork, weaving, housekeeping and cooking. In this way, she prepared the young women who came to her for the domestic life. Philothei is primarily remembered for her abundant philanthropy. The convent had plenty of charity establishments both in Athens and on the islands of the Aegean sea. One of her more controversial activities was to buy the freedom of Greeks taken as slaves by the Ottoman Turks, especially women taken to the harems. She offered shelter to the young women, some pregnant. Despite being hunted by the Turks, she helped them escape secretly. Her monasteries were frequently plundered, and the farming and agricultural program, which were a basic source of sustaining her work, devastated. On 3 October 1588, four Ottoman mercenaries broke into the monastery during the evening vigil service and beat her severely. She died of her injuries on 19 February 1589.
Η Αγία Φιλοθέη, κατά κόσμον Ρεβούλα Μπενιζέλου (1545 - 1589) είναι μάρτυρας και αγία από την οθωμανική εποχή. Γεννήθηκε στην Αθήνα σε μια επιφανή και πλούσια οικογένεια. Ενάντια στη θέλησή της, παντρεύτηκε σε ηλικία 14 ετών στην ευγενή Αντρέα Χειλά, ο οποίος την κακομεταχειριζόταν. Όταν πέθανε αυτή ήταν μόλις 17 ετών, όμορφη και πλούσια και οι γονείς της επέμεναν να ξαναπαντρευτεί. Αυτή όμως έμενε στο σπίτι και αφιέρωνε μεγάλο μέρος του χρόνου της στην προσευχή. Ο οικογενειακός πλούτος της έδωσε την ευκαιρία για φιλανθρωπική δράση με την οποία κέρδισε το σεβασμό και την αγάπη της κοινότητας. Όταν πέθαναν οι γονείς της, η Φιλοθέη βρέθηκε ιδιοκτήτρια εκτεταμένων εκμεταλλεύσεων. Εισήλθε στη μοναστική ζωή, ιδρύοντας γυναικεία μοναστήρια. Εκεί οι νεαρές καλόγριες δίδασκαν χειροτεχνία, ύφανση, νοικοκυριό και μαγείρεμα. Έτσι προετοίμαζε τις νεαρές γυναίκες για την έγγαμη ζωή. Η Φιλοθέη είναι γνωστή κυρίως για την άφθονη φιλανθρωπία της. Μία από τις πιο αμφιλεγόμενες δραστηριότητές της ήταν να αγοράζει την ελευθερία των Ελλήνων που ήταν σκλάβοι στους Οθωμανούς Τούρκους, ειδικά τις γυναίκες από τα χαρέμια. Τα μοναστήρια της λεηλατήθηκαν πολλές φορές για να την καταστρέψουν οικονομικά. Στις 3 Οκτωβρίου 1588, τέσσερις Οθωμανοί μισθοφόροι μπήκαν στο μοναστήρι της κατά τη διάρκεια της βραδινής προσευχής και την χτύπησαν σοβαρά. Πέθανε από τα τραύματά της στις 19 Φεβρουαρίου 1589.

The first half of the video is the mansion of St Philothei and the second half a walk in Plaka neighborhood in Athens center. It was "filmed" in 28/10/2019 (10-28-2019).
