Life
Saint Rufinus, hieromartyr, was a deacon and wonderworker. He suffered around the year 310, together with the matron Aquilina, at Sinope. He is commemorated on 7 April.
The source says he was from Kemet and that he suffered at Sinope in Pontus. Sinope of Pontus lies on the southern shore of the Black Sea, not in Egypt, so "Kemet" (the old name of Egypt) does not fit the place. Aquilina was thrown into prison for feeding Rufinus. Through him more than two hundred soldiers were brought to the Lord. He met his torments with courage and dignity.
