According to archaeological evidence and various written sources, the [[monastery]] of St. Matrona is one of the first three monasteries of Thessaloniki. According to the information historians have, until the beginning of [[iconoclasm]] (726), there is reference to a "monastery of Saint Matrona, located outside the walls of Thesssaloniki, with strong fortification. It existed about the end of the sixth and the beginning of the seventh century."<ref>[httphttps://wwwmedia.ems.namegr/ekdoseis/makedonika%2034/harizanismakedonika_34/ekd_pemk_34_Charizanis.pdf Summary of ''The Beginning beginning of Monasticism in Thessaloniki.

The book of the Miracles of Saint Demetrius mentions a [[church]] dedicated to St. Matrona. This church, which was near the Via Egnatia, is also mentioned by the [[Archbishop]] of Thessaloniki, Alexander. In the account of the [[saint]]'s deeds we read: "Άθλησις της Αγίας Μάρτυρος Ματρώνης εκ πόλεως Θεσσαλονίκης. Αυτή θεράπαινα υπήρξε Παντίλλης τινός Ιουδαίας, γυναικός στρατοπεδάρχου εν τη Θεσσαλονικέων πόλει," which translates to: "Miracle of the Holy Martyr Matrona of Thessaloniki. She cured a Jewess named Pantilla, the wife of a garrison commander in the city of the Thessalonians."<ref>Tafrali, O., ''Topographie de Thessalonique'', Paris 1913, p. 184.</ref>
