Angel Day of Alevtina: patron saint of the name
The holy martyr Alevtina is mentioned in history along with other Christians who suffered for their faith in Jesus Christ: Paul and Chionia. They were all from Egypt and lived during the reign of Emperor Maximian (303-313). The years of his reign are associated with the terrible persecution of Christians who were persecuted for their faith and subjected to severe torture.
Once, the martyr, along with other Christians, was captured and ordered by the emperor to Caesarea. Here the martyrs were interrogated, in which they refused to renounce their faith in the Lord and remained faithful to their religious beliefs. For this they were subjected to cruel torture: first they burned everyone on the left leg, then they gouged out in the right eye and only then they allowed to die. The first believer Chionia was hanged, after her Alevtina was brutally tortured, and then Paul was beheaded. Before his death, the martyr recited a prayer with which he urged all pagans to turn to faith in God, after which all the people present at the execution began to cry. After this, the bodies of all the martyrs were burned.
