Life
Blessed Marina of Sicily is commemorated on 17 July (new style) in the calendar of the Church of Greece as a fool for Christ.
The source consulted says no more of her life: neither the time nor the exact place of her struggle. Her title shows that she lived in Sicily and that she took on, for Christ, the appearance of folly.
She is venerated by the faithful without synodal canonization.
Commemorated the same day July 17
