Karuska

Jesus and the apostles lodged at the home of Karuska during their sojourn in Sidon (Phoenicia). "There lived near the home of Karuska, where the Master lodged, a Syrian woman who had heard much of Jesus as a great healer and teacher" -- this was the Syrophoenician woman whose daughter Jesus healed. Karuska served as Jesus' host during one of his most important forays into gentile territory, providing the base of operations for his Phoenician ministry.
