Every year on November 11, the Orthodox Church honors the memory of the Monk Martyr Anastasia Rimlyanyni.
She was born in the third century. At the age of three, she lost her parents and enrolled in a monastery near Rome. There the saint received monastic tonsure. The beauty of the young Christian woman attracted the attention of noble Romans. Many asked for her hand, but the girl rejected them, wanting to devote her life to the service of God.
When Emperor Decius came to power, persecution of believers began in the country. Anastasia was forcibly taken from the monastery and brought to the city ruler. She was accused of disrespecting the noble citizens of Rome and honoring Christ. The military commander Probus, according to legend, demanded that the saint sacrifice to idols, but she refused. For this, the martyr was tortured and executed. Along with her was killed guard Cyril, who brought the dying water, he was mistaken for a secret Christian.
