Orthodox icon of Holy Great Martyr Marina (3). 

Commemorated July 17.

The Holy Great Martyr Marina was born in Asia Minor, in the city of Antioch of Pisidia (southern Asia Minor), into the family of a pagan priest. In infancy she lost her mother, and her father gave her into the care of a nursemaid, who raised Marina in the Orthodox Faith. Upon learning that his daughter had become a Christian, the father angrily disowned her. During the time of the persecution against Christians under the emperor Diocletian (284-305), when she was fifteen years old, St Marina was arrested and locked up in prison.

With firm trust in the will of God and His help, the young prisoner prepared for her impending fate. The governor Olymbrios, charmed with the beautiful girl, tried to persuade her to renounce the Christian Faith and become his wife. But the saint, unswayed, refused his offers. The vexed governor gave the holy martyr over to torture. Having beaten her fiercely, they fastened the saint with nails to a board and tore at her body with tridents.

The governor himself, unable to bear the horror of these tortures, hid his face in his hands. But the holy martyr remained unyielding. Thrown for the night into prison, she was granted heavenly aid and healed of her wounds. They stripped her and tied her to a tree, then burned the martyr with fire. Barely alive, the martyr prayed: Lord, You have granted me to go through fire for Your Name, grant me also to go through the water of holy Baptism. Hearing the word water, the governor gave orders to drown the saint in a large cauldron.

The martyr besought the Lord that this manner of execution should become for her holy Baptism. When they plunged her into the water, there suddenly shone a light, and a snow-white dove came down from Heaven, bearing in its beak a golden crown. The fetters put upon St Marina came apart by themselves. The martyr stood up in the fount of Baptism glorifying the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. St Marina emerged from the fount completely healed, without any trace of burns.

Amazed at this miracle, the people glorified the True God, and many came to believe. This brought the governor into a rage, and he gave orders to kill anyone who might confess the Name of Christ. 15,000 Christians perished there, and the holy Martyr Marina was beheaded. The sufferings of the Great Martyr Marina were described by an eyewitness of the event, named Theotimos. Up until the taking of Constantinople by Western crusaders in the year 1204, the relics of the Great Martyr Marina were in the Panteponteia monastery.

According to other sources, they were located in Antioch until the year 908 and from there transferred to Italy. Now they are in Athens, in a church dedicated to the holy Virgin Martyr. Her venerable hand was transferred to Mount Athos, to the Batopedi monastery.

ELEGANT & SOPHISTICATED WITH THE PERFECT SIZE AND STYLE!
Color: Black
I love the unique design of this clutch! There's THREE ways of carrying this clutch! 1) I can add a strap to make it a crossbody purse, 2) It has a wristlet strap, 3) Plus, the best is the long strap on the side of the clutch that allows me to place my hand through it and securely hold it in such a fashionable way! I get tons of compliments on it. I bought two, one in red and one in black. The leather-like material is durable, and the fixtures stay gold and do not fade. I use it daily, so it gets worn out within a year. The rubber edges would unfurl or get cracked. The zipper can break if you stuff the clutch too much, and the edges do get frayed easily, but for the cost, it's worth it! You can dress it up or wear it casually.

Awesome bag!
Color: Silver
I LOVE this bag! I use it daily. My only wish is that it was larger, although it does hold much more than you might think. I tried to post a pic of the inside and all it holds, but the app won't let me right now. I'll check back later. Until then, the list includes... Credit, check, and insurance cards (all 8 of them), 2 pens, A pen light, Fingertip spray bottle for alcohol, Mirror, ID, Several business cards, Folding phone stand shaped like a credit card, Charging cord, Charging battery (a hefty one with qi charging), Prescription sunglasses inside a box for protection, A magnifying card with light. My phone is too big to fit in the zipper compartment (Note 10+), so I usually use a lanyard. I COULD fit it into the main compartment, but it's tight. I attach my keys to the loop with the wrist strap. Otherwise they would scratch my phone if I choose to put it inside. An expanding bottom along with just an inch added to both the height and length would make all the difference for those needed items. If the owners/designers read this, I'd request a divider going lengthwise as well to keep my phone separate and protected. It doesn't have one, or a pocket for a large phone. I do believe, however, that the latest folding Razr or Samsung's Z-Flip would easily fit into the pockets provided with no problem.
