Saint Minas
The Story Behind this Icon:
Saint Minas, a native of Roman-era Egypt, is a Great Martyr of the Church. He rejected worldly power and glory in favor of the crown of martyrdom for our beloved Christ. Visit our website to learn his full story. Saint Minas was and remains a great miracle-worker, both on earth and in heaven. Whoever glorifies St. Minas and invokes his help with faith, receives his help. The saint has often appeared as a warrior on horseback, arriving to help the faithful or punish the unfaithful.
Forsaking an earthly army, O prize-winner, you received a heavenly inheritance, after receiving glory from earthly kings, O wise one, you endured martyrdom and received an unfading crown. Therefore, O Great Martyr Minas, intercede with Christ God to save our souls. -Troparion for Saint Minas
Saint Minas is commemorated on November 11.
