St. Great Martyr Mina, protector of the damaged

St. Great Martyr Mina, protector of the damaged St. Mina lived during the time of Diocletian and Maximian and was from Egypt, a Christian by faith and a soldier by profession. Throughout the Roman Empire, Christians were harshly punished with torture and death for their faith. Then, St. Mina, unable to bear to see the pagan wandering and the worship of breathless idols being honored, abandoned the army and went to the mountains. After a long time, a great feast was held in the Cotiani fortress in honor of the pagan gods. So, St. Mina, filled with zeal for God, came to the city and preached Christ with great courage. For this he was caught and brought before Arghirisc the prefect, who ordered him to be beaten with rods. They then rubbed him with tufts of rough hair, mercilessly, burned him with torches and dragged him on the wheel. But God strengthened His martyr who, remaining steadfast in his faith, shouted that he would not deny Christ. For this, the idol worshipers beheaded St. Mina. Источник: Lord Of War
