The box says Macrina died in 379, so say some other sources I found. German WP also has 379 so maybe this should be changed. --Proofreader 15:36, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good monring, some biographical information have been added by this recent academic paper. It is the unique paper to be listed by DOAJ on this subject matter. The conclusion compares virginity to the life of angels, who are created bodiless and invisible by God, and to a sacrifice for the good of the Christ's spouse, which is the Roman Catholic Church itself. Possibly, analogue theological conclusions have to be placed within a separate section. Regards, Theologiansp
