Women in Acts (New Testament Apocrypha)

I came across the New Testament Apocrypha (read more at wikipedia).

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Testament_apocrypha

It can be purchased at amazon (see link below).

Saint Thecla (follow the links to the Acts of Paul and Thecla from wikipedia)

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thecla

Saints Xantippa and Polyxena and Holy Woman Rebecca (follow wikipedia links for more information on the Acts of Xantippa, Polyxena, and Rebecca)

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_Xanthippe,_Polyxena,_and_Rebecca

Interesting enough, these women (Saint Thecla, Saint Xantippa, Saint Polyxena, Holy Woman Rebecca), all have a feast day on the same day as Saint Pio - September 23rd

I didn't make this post so that you get the cart before the horse ...  It's probably better to read and study the biblical Book of Acts ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acts_of_the_Apostles ) before exploring the acts genre.

Incidentally, if you are looking for the women in the biblical Book of Acts, try the links below; there are women in Acts.
