Vasta is a small village in the municipality of Megalopoli in Arcadia, Greece. The village is famous for the miracle church of St. Theodora. The saint lived in the 11^th century and helped defend her village by disguising herself as a male soldier. Legend has it that she died saying: “Let my blood become church, my blood a river, my hair the forest.” This church was built at the site of her grave. A local river rerouted to pass directly under the church causing seventeen trees to sprout from the roof of the church. Locals attribute this miracle to St. Theodora.
