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.
