- The Venerable Marina and Kira
- Sts. Marina and Kira, kindred sisters, came from the town of Beri in
Syria where they lived in the fifth century. Disdaining the eminence of
their origin, they departed to the outskirts of the city and took
shelter in a cave in order to live a monastic life. They lived here for
forty years, residing in silence, strict fasting and perpetual prayer.
In order to perform a great labor, they wore heavy fetters under their
clothing. They left their self-exile only once, in order to bow to the
Lord’s tomb in Jerusalem. They died peacefully around the year 450,
leaving a legacy as champions of good deeds.
