Скачать или смотреть The Commemoration of the Departure of St. Marina, the Ascetic

On this day, the church celebrates the commemoration of the departure of the nun St. Marina. Her father wanted to give her in marriage, and to go himself and become a monk in one of the monasteries, she told him, "O my Father, why would you save your own soul, and destroy mine?" He answered saying, "What shall I do with you? You are a woman." She told him, "I will take off my woman's dress and will put on the garb of a man." She went to live in the monastery with him, keeping all prayers and fasting all the time. Then, while she was still dressed as a monk, she was unjustly accused of falling in adultery with a girl. She couldn’t tell the people the truth of being a nun not a monk, as she wanted to continue her life in the monastery. They discovered that truth during her burial, and all people felt regret. God manifested innumerable miracles through her blessed body. May her prayers be with us and Glory be to our God forever. Amen.
