From the Prologue of Ochrid

The sisters of Lazarus. After the Ascension of the Lord, Lazarus went to preach the Gospel. His sisters helped him in this. It is not known where they ended their lives.

“But when old age and weariness overcame him, he withdrew again to Sinai, where he surrendered his soul to God and received the crown of glory among the great hierarchs.”
