Name Marina, angel's day: name day dates
On March 13, Orthodox Christians solemnly commemorate the holy Rev. Marina Beria. The holy righteous lived at the end of the 4th - beginning of the 5th century. It is known that she renounced carnal pleasures for the sake of perfection in the spiritual exploits of prayer, meekness and chastity. The Reverend Marina, together with her sister Kira, upon reaching the age of 18 decided to leave their home and be reclusive. The girls retired and began to live outside the city in a small dugout. Thus the ascetics lived for about 50 years, eating only bread and water.
According to the old style in honor of the Venerable Beria (hermit) the day of the angel - Marina’s name day - celebrated on February 28. According to the Gregorian calendar, this is March 13th.
On July 30 (17), Christians sing with blessed memory the holy Great Martyr Marina. The holy righteous woman, while in her infancy, was left without a mother and was given up to nanny. Thanks to a pious nurse, Marina learned about Christianity and was baptized at the age of 12. For such an act, the father renounced his own daughter.
As a result, during the persecution of Christians, Saint Marina was also called. However, when they brought her to the chief, instead of torturing the girl, the tormentor made the great martyr an offer of a hand and heart, as he was struck by her beauty. The boss also ordered Marina to renounce the faith. But she refused to offer the man, as a result of which it was decided to subject the saint to various physical sufferings. Watching how the righteous humbly endures torment, hundreds of people accepted the Christian faith. When it was decided to execute the girl, the Almighty did not allow such torture and called the saint to himself.
Therefore, according to the church calendar, the day of the angel of Marina is celebrated on March 13 or July 30.
