Saint Christina the Great Martyr

According to the Synaxarist, Saint Christina, the great martyr, was from Tire in Syria and was the daughter of the general Urbanos (about 200 AD).

Her father built her a tower and placed her in it. In fact, he made idols of idols and ordered them to be sacrificed. But she tore it all away. For these actions, the monk was tortured by his own father and then imprisoned.

She starved to death in prison. But the angel of the Lord brought her food, and all her wounds were healed.

Then they threw her into the sea, where she received the holy baptism from Christ, and the angel of the Lord brought her to land.

Upon learning that she had been rescued, her father ordered her to be imprisoned again. Her father died the next night, and a man named Dion took his place in the general’s office. He took the witness to court. There the monk confessed his faith. He was immediately enraged and ordered the torture to begin.

Many believed in Christ during the persecution. After Dion, a certain Julian took over. He threw Christina into a red-hot furnace, into a cage with poisonous snakes, which, instead of biting her, licked her feet with mercy, then cut off her breasts, which poured milk instead of blood, and cut out her tongue. She bravely endured all these tortures, and at last gave up her spirit with the rods that smote her, received the crown of sacrifice, and passed into eternal life.

It is not known when the immortal relic of the great Martyr Christina was transferred from Syria to Constantinople, where she was martyred and placed in a chapel in her memory in the Holy Palace area, which was removed during the Frankish occupation. Transferred to Venice. In 1252 AD the relic was placed in the monastery of Agios Markos in Torcello and in 1340 AD. It was transferred to the Church of St. Matthew in Murano. In 1435 AD Pope Eugene IV ordered his transfer to the Church of St. Anthony in Torcello. In 1793 AD it was transferred to the Monastery of Justinian Martyr in Venice and in 1810 AD. In the church of St. Francis of the Vine, where it is still kept today, is kept in a crystal casket.
