Glyceria
Agia Glykeria was born in Traianoupolis in the 2nd AD. century, when Emperor was Antonin the Eusebius (138 – 161 AD). Her father was named Makarios and had been a High. At an early age, Christianity embraced and developed intense Christian and catechism.
When the event was informed by the ruler Savvin, he called on her to appear in front of him.
The Saint appeared with him, having appeared on her forehead the Holy Cross and did not hesitate to confess her faith in the Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ. He furiously led her to the pagan temple to pray and sacrifice to idolas. There Glyceria, after praying warmly, crushed the statue of Zeus. Outraged the pagans, dragged her out and stoned her with fury.
But not a single stone touched the saint, so many believe in Christ. Then, after suffering various torture, he was thrown into prison, where he held and brought to the Christian faith by the Laodicean prisoner, who subsequently confessed his faith and testified to Christ.
The tyrant was unmistakable, ordered to torment Glyceria again and then throw it into the wild beast. But they too respected her, though one of them bitten her, so that the Saint would deliver her spirit to the athlete in a few days.
Its sacred relic was received by the bishop of Heraklion Domiti and placed it in a decent place near the city. There are many miracles, healing, and demonic therapies, which the Saint performed on those who faithfully resorted to worship her sacred relic.
