Calendar for August 6 - Holy Great Martyr Hristina
The daughter of the imperial governor Urban, an idolater, from the city of Tyre. Until the age of 11, she knew nothing about Christ. She was beautiful and her father imprisoned her on top of a tower, where he arranged everything for her to live comfortably. But her young soul was looking for God. And God sent her an angel who baptized her with the sign of the cross and taught her the knowledge of God. Then she broke the idols in her room, and her father threw her into the dungeon to have her cut in the morning. But that night, suddenly, Urban dies. The torture of the holy virgin was prolonged by the governors Dion and Julian. Dion fell dead, among the people, and Julian cut off her breast and tongue. St. Christina took her tongue, threw it in his face, and he became blind. Finally they cut her with a sword. She died in the 3rd century.
Holy Martyrs of Prebilovac, Venerable Polycarp, Abbot of Pechersk.
