Martyr
Irene of Egypt
Martyr of Egypt, who suffered for Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Irene of Egypt suffered in Egypt, in the time of the Emperor Maximian (305-311), together with Marcian, Nicander, Hyperechius, Apollo, Leonides, Arius, Gorgias, Selinus and Pambo. The Church commemorates them on 18 June (new style).
The ten were Egyptians. For their firm confession of faith in Christ they were scourged without mercy and, half dead, thrown into prison. There an angel appeared to them and healed their wounds, and the miracle brought many pagans to Christ. The holy martyrs died in the prison of hunger and thirst.
