Life
Cyra of Beroea and Marana were two ascetics of Beroea in Syria, of noble birth, who shut themselves into a narrow enclosure with a window for food. They wore heavy iron chains and spent forty-two years in struggle. They made pilgrimages to Jerusalem and to Seleucia. The source is Theodoret of Cyrrhus. They are commemorated on 28 February. The date is that of the Orthodox Menaion (13 days later on the old calendar).
