Вера - Жития святых. Мученица Христина - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

The Martyr Christina lived in the third century, in the Phoenician city of Tyre, in what is now Lebanon. Christina was born into a rich family, her father was the ruler of the city. Many noble young men proposed marriage to the girl, but her father dreamed that his daughter would become a priestess. To do this, he surrounded her with idols of pagan gods. But the girl often thought about how this world was created, how it works. She came to the idea of the One Creator and began, as best she could, to pray to Him. Christina asked Him to reveal Himself. And the girl was honored with a visit from an Angel, who told her about Christ, the Savior of the world. The angel called her the bride of Christ and foreshadowed her future suffering. Christina smashed all the idols that stood near her. Her father was angry, and when he learned that his daughter had become a Christian, he himself threw her into prison. The girl was tortured, but she refused to renounce her faith. At night, an Angel of God healed the martyr from her wounds. Before her execution, the girl was imprisoned for a long time. Sympathizers began to approach the prisoner for blessings. With her faith and preaching she converted many to Christ.
