Life
Holy Martyr Carina of Ancyra is remembered in some Greek menologia as a young Christian of northern Asia Minor, martyred with her husband Melasippus and their son Antony at Ancyra (today Ankara in Turkey).
Very little is known of her apart from her martyrdom. In the time of the emperor Julian, at Ankara, Carina and her husband Melasippus were arrested, in the year 360, for being Christians. They refused to renounce their faith. Carina and Melasippus were tortured to death, and their son Antony was beheaded.
Her commemoration is kept on 7 November. She is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured in the Eastern tradition.
Commemorated the same day November 7
