Martyr
Mary of Caesarea
A woman martyr of Caesarea in Palestine, who suffered for Christ.
Life
Holy Martyr Mary of Caesarea was one of three martyrs, Calleria (Valeria), Cyriacia (Cyria) and Mary, inhabitants of Caesarea in Palestine in the time of Diocletian's persecution (284-305). Receiving instruction in the Christian faith, they left the pagan life, withdrew to a solitary place and passed their lives in prayer, asking the Lord that the persecution of Christians might cease and the faith of Christ shine in all the world.
The governor compelled them to bow to idols, but they confessed faith in Christ without fear. For this they were put to torments and died during them.
They are commemorated on 20 June, in the new style.
