The Church today venerates the memory of Holy Great Martyr Marina, the patroness of children

This Martyr lived during the reign of Claudius II in the late 3rd century. She was from Pisidia of Cilicia, in southeast Asia Minor and was the only daughter of a heathen. When she was 15, she was apprehended by the ruler of Olmbrius, and when asked her name, homeland, and faith, she answered: “My name is Marina; I am the offspring of the Pisidia; I call upon the Name of my Lord Jesus Christ.”

She endured bonds, imprisonment and torments, and was finally beheaded in the year 270. A feature on the life and martyrdom of the saint is posted today on the pages of the diakonima.gr site.
