24 September - Thècle d'Iconium or saint Thècle is a saint from the early days of the Church. She belonged to a wealthy pagan family of Iconium, the present Konya in Turkey. She is said to have lived in the first century.

Paul, passing through Iconium, delivered his teaching in the house of Onesiphorus. From his neighbouring window, Thecle listens, captivated, to the apostle's sermons without moving for three days and three nights. Paul teaches that one should worship only one God and live chastely and talks about the resurrection. Uncle's mother and her fiancé, Thamyris, are irritated by Paul's influence on Thecle and bring him before the proconsul as an impostor.

Paul is thrown into prison. The uncle buys the jailer to join him and listen at his feet, all night long, to the story of the great acts of God. His family, alarmed and supported by the threatening crowd, again calls upon the proconsul. Paul is driven out of the city and Thelecule, at his mother's request, is condemned to be burned at the stake. But a miraculous storm saves the new disciple.

The uncle joins Paul in an open tomb on the road from Iconium to Daphne. A magistrate of the city of Antioch seduces the young girl and tries to take her by force, but The uncle defends his virtue. The magistrate falsely accuses her and she is condemned by the governor to be devoured by wild beasts, despite the protests of the women of the city and in particular of a widow named Triphena (Tryphaine) whose daughter who had just died wanted to adopt The uncle. Thècle suffered several torments, but each time a new miracle spared her. Faced with so many miracles, the governor agreed to free her. The uncle returned to Seleucia d'Isauria and ended his days in a small hermitage that she created.
