The life of Saint Marina
Agia Marina was born in Antioch of Pisidia, in the years of the emperor Κλαυδίου of B, 270 m.X. A few days after her birth, her mother died, and her father Αιδέσιος, who was a Priest of idols, assigned it to a christian woman, from which the Marina was taught the Christ. When she was 15 years old, reveals to her father that she is a christian. Surprised that from what he heard, with hatred deleted it from his child.
After a while, she learned about the Marina and the governor Ολύμβριος, who ordered the arrest for questioning. When he saw her in front of him, admired her beauty and tried to persuade her to deny Christ and become his wife. In vain, however. Agia Marina, every effort of the Ολυμβρίου αντέτασσε the phrase: “I’m a christian”. Then the cruel governor ordered me to lie down on the earth, and the καταξέσχισε ruthlessly with sticks so that the earth became red from the blood that ran. Then, while he was bleeding, he hung for a long time, and after the imprisoned.
Inside the prison actually happened: The devil transformed himself into a fierce dragon, he tried to make the saint to fear. This, however, prayed to God, and immediately the dragon’s changed form and became a black dog, and then the saint grabbed a hammer and hitting him on the head and the spine of the humbled.
When for the second time examined and found that the faith of Agia Marina was firm in Christ, burned her with lit candles. But the wounds of a miracle is closed, and this resulted in many attendees to become christians. In front of this danger, the governor finally decapitated in the Marina, so he took the imperishable wreath of eternal glory.
The holy relics were stored in Istanbul until the first conquest by the Latins, 1204.G., while according to other sources they were up to 908 m.X. in Antioch and then were transferred to Italy. Today, the holy relics of Agia Marina, are kept in Athens, in a temple bearing the name of the while the hand has been transferred to the Vatopedi Monastery on Mount athos.
