Life

Holy Martyr Cyrilla of Cyrene, also called Cyprilla, suffered for the faith of Christ in the year 304. As the Azbyka page tells, she refused to bow to idols and, after cruel tortures, was put to the sword.

The page gives no other details about her. Saint Cyrilla is commemorated on 18 July, in the new style.
