Galina Holy Biography

Information about the life of the holy martyr has almost not been preserved. The name of the martyr Galina is inextricably linked with the life of the righteous old man Kodrat, who turned her to faith in Christ. During the persecution of Christians in the III century, one pious woman named Rufin fled from Corinth to the mountains, escaping from persecution. There she gave birth to a son of Kodrata and died soon after birth.

The craft of God remained to live and was miraculously nurtured: a cloud fell on him, feeding him with a sweet dew. Childhood and youthful years of Holy Codes passed in the desert. Being already an adult, he once met Christians who enlightened him with the light of true faith. The scrap learned to literacy, and later studied medical art and achieved great success in it. But most of all, he loved the desert silence and spent most of his time in the mountains, indulging in prayer and divine thought.

Many years have passed. His friends and followers often came to the desert to the saint to listen to his instructions.

On the orders of the chapel of Christians, the wicked decree - the military leader Jason arrived in the Corinth. The holy scrap was captured with his friends and thrown into prison. During interrogations, Jason most often turned to the crater as an older one in age. The saint courageously defended his faith in Christ the Savior. Then they began to torture him. The holy scrap, despite the inhuman suffering, found the strength to support others, convincing them not to be afraid and stand firmly for faith.

Having not achieved from anyone renunciation, Jason ordered the martyrs to be torn to pieces by the beasts. The animals did not touch them. The saints were tied by the legs to the chariots and dragged around the city, many of the crowd threw stones at them. Finally, the martyrs were awarded to truncate a sword. At the place of execution, the saints asked themselves a little time for prayer, and then one after another they began to approach the executioner, bowing their heads in front of the covered sword.

They could hide, but did not do it. According to another legend of the holy wives, Galin, Harissa, Nunekhia, Calisa Kalida, Vasilissa, Nick, Gali, Theodora - the students of the old man Kodrata - along with the holy martyr Leonid threw them into the sea, but they did not drown, but walked along the water, as if by land, and sang spiritual hymns. The tormentors caught up with them on the ship, hung stones on their neck and drowned.
