Martyr
Irene of Corinth
A woman martyr of Corinth, who suffered for Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Irene of Corinth suffered in Greece in the year 258, on the day of Holy Pascha. The Church commemorates her on 29 April (new style).
She lived with other Christians in a cave and spent her time in unceasing prayer. Denounced by pagans, she was seized by the governor's soldiers and put in prison. For fearlessly confessing Christ as the true God, Saint Irene endured savage torments: her tongue was cut out, her teeth were knocked out, and finally her head was cut off with a sword.
